Hi all,
I'd appreciate your help in ID'ing this guitar and the pickups it contains:
It's a USA bolt-on serial number 000257. I know it's a 1990 and a member of the "USA Bolt-on" family but I'd appreciate info on what the model might be.
But the real reason I posted is the pickups. The sound is, well, hideous. Thin, shrill, ultra-low output, it's just all-around bad. I'm assuming that a previous owner did a hack job on the wiring (multiple wire splices and one pot that can't be seen due to the massive glob of solder that almost completely covers its base were the tipoffs). I'm going to strip it down and rewire it properly and I'd sincerely appreciate some opinions on what the pickups in there are supposed to sound like so I can determine whether I should bother with them or just skip it and replace them.
The humbucker is definitely a Jackson JB-50 BC. Any thoughts on what this should sound like.
The single coils aren't marked with a manufacturer's name that I can see but they both have white paper stickers bearing "1R" and are each stamped with the inscription "SD 2 85". Again, any thoughts on what these might be or what they should sound like would be appreciated.
Thanks!
