The factory specification for these includes three Epiphone Dogear P-90s, a LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge, Bigsby vibrato and Wilkinson 14:1 tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular guitar has had the bridge pickup changed to a Wilkinson P-90, which is clearly visible in the photographs. The neck and middle pickups appear to remain Epiphone units. The combination works really well and gives you everything from warm, rounded neck tones through to brighter, more aggressive bridge sounds, with plenty in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in very good used condition for its age and presents extremely well overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are signs that it has been played, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Scratching and play wear around the bridge and Bigsby area\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* General surface scratches and handling marks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Scratches to the rear of the body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Light scratching and marks to the headstock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Some age-related tarnishing and wear to the gold hardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no major structural issues noted, and it has recently had a setup.
