I cant decide if I like my 50's or 60's better, they both play great, and both look great, and both sound great! Best thing is they sound and respond nothing alike, the 60's is great for that gritty bluesy and fuzzy drive sounds, the 50's alnico 3 pups dish out sparkling clean jazzy soulful tones, and surprisingly....handles super high gain very well especially in the notch positions, sounds almost like a classic PAF, the 60's kinda turns to mush with modern high gain applications. Glad I got both, they will easily fill the bill untill I can afford my highe dollar custom builds.....major gas for a light/medium relic 60's shell pink
I'm man enough to proudly wail on a cool ass pink guitar, if they make a CV version in SP in the near future though, the SB is going up for sale!....
well mebbe not, in pristine condition they arent near as cool looking, that ones a little too mary kay as well
