It appears I got an even sweeter deal than previously thought because before I left I noticed it has the locking stud mod also!!!

Please stop posting more revelations about this purchase. Its making me GAS for lucky finds in pawn shops.

What does "GAS" mean??

Jack Secret · #21 10-13-2009, 01:24 PM

GAS = Gear (or Guitar) Acquisition Syndrome

Dimarzio pickups AND locking stud mod?! You lucky bastard!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Yeah dude, I have found a lot of great guitars at guitar center used for dirt cheap.

Sweet deal!

My guess, from the pole pieces, is that the bridge pu is a TZ.

I just wanted to say thx to everyone for all the info and help!

Well guys, I finally came home and got to take my guitar apart and inspect everything, and heres the verdict.

Neck Pickup- Air Norton
Middle Pickup- Blue Velvet
Bridge- Tone Zone

It turns out I dont have locking studs as previously thought...
I seen holes in my trem studs, and didn't have a 1.5mm wrench to check, so I just kinda assumed there were set screws down there, however when I finally obtained the correct allen wrench I realized that I was just a dumbass lol

Still a steal though and definately opened my eyes to the used market.

Congrats on that purchase. You got a great deal

If you have an AIr Norton the baseplate should read 193 (or DP193), not 153. DP153 is the Fred, which doesn't look like your neck pickup anyway...

You're right...Apparently I made a typo last time because it does in fact say 193 on my neck pickup (I was changing my strings when I saw this and was able to look again just to be sure

).

WOW! lucky you. grats!!

Ironjose · #30 11-17-2009, 03:51 PM

now that you discover what kind of pups you have, how does it sound? i thinking about getting that setup too...
but maybe the middle could be a FS-1 dont know yet... or a hum cancelling single coil...
