Best pickups ever
I use these in my modded Squier stratocaster, that I call the "LET THEM EAT CAKE" stratocaster.

It's fantastic instrument
My Great Grandma owns a Cedar Creek Dulcimer purchased from Silver Dollar City, and I love to play it when I visit, so much so that she intends to give it to me at some point.

Best Pickups ever
These are custom shop Seymour Duncan Pickups that I have been in the process of designing since around early October of 2018 and will then purchase in March of 2019.

The sound great
I am going to put a pair of GFS (Guitar Fetish) Minitron Nashville pickups in the ES-339 I'm getting, they are mini humbuckers that come with the P90 casing to fit it into the P90 slot, and they sound great, I wanted an ES-339 because Dave Grohl plays a Gibson Trini Lopez ES-335, so I'm getting a pelham blue ES-339 from Epiphone, but I've always preferred P90s and Mini Humbuckers, but loved the sound of the Lollartrons in the Chris Cornell ES-335 this way I figured by getting these GFS pickups I'd get the best of both worlds.

do you have actual filtertrons? they're not really minihumbuckers or PAFs, they're their own thing. They have smaller bobbins than a PAF, lager than a mini, different magnet installation than either... and the bobbins are TALLER than any other humbucker. They also have a much lower DCR. They're great pickups and I encourage you to try some real ones or properly sized repros like the TV jones Gibson or p90 mount. Event he lollars cornell used in his custom 335 were not right.... wrong magnets. Nothing against gfs, but they're not striving for accuracy. They'll sound good, but don't expect the legit 60s fitler sound. Also, tis not cool to review stuff you haven't used. Again, the lollartrons are not quite what you get from a Gretsch, they're way smoother due to the A2 magnets.

I used to have what I think was a silver Squier affinity jazz bass with a maple neck I honestly don't remember the brand it's been so long

Great Guitar
This will be my 2018 Christmas gift, when I get it I'll remove the pickguard, and at some point add Bare Knuckle Bootcamp P-90 bridge and neck pickups. also mine will be the Pelham Blue.

Great Guitar, has had lots of love and work done on it.
This was more or less a gift from the drummer of my band SALEM, originally had given me the guitar to keep alongside my Squier Bullet Stratocaster that had the tremolo system on it. after a little while he decided he wanted it back, so I gave it back. Shortly after I decided I wanted to completely mod my guitar, and since I was literally stripping out all the electronics and hardware, I wanted a new look a new paint job, so I told him I would trade guitar bodies, so he now has the bullet body currently with those stock pickups, and he has the affinity neck. So now I have a affinity body, painted with the French flag, and let them eat cake written on it, the neck is a scalloped bullet stratocaster neck, there is going to be a black Floyd Rose Rail Tail tremolo system, Black Tronical stratocaster robotic tuning machines, a kill switch in placement of the neck tone, the volume will be neck volume, and the middle tone will be bride volume, there will be two pickups EMG 81 Neck, and EMG 85 Bridge, there will also be a toggle switch on the lower right horn. This guitar has been dubbed the "LET THEM EAT CAKE" stratocaster.

Mine is is a blue green color, I've scalloped it and sanded the lacquer off the back of the neck.
It is main primary guitar for anything, especially for electric it's got that thin neck, but good feel I like I don't know what it is, but anytime someone plays one of my guitars especially the strat and my old Harley Benton which I unfortunately traded for an acoustic which I would then trade for my strat, everyone always said they were the two most comfortable guitars.

Best amp I have Ever Played
It has multiple effects and amp presets, best sound quality ever. It is Without a doubt the greatest amp I have used.

got this as a Christmas gift It's okay but not great.
The sound quality is not great the, neck and fret board are a bit rough. It's a cheap guitar expect what you pay. Otherwise good practice guitar . strung the guitar with seven string one the place for the first string the high E there are two equally tuned strings for a longer nicer ring.

Great guitar love it nut on these are a bit looser than on an actual Gibson so you to tune it more often but otherwise grea.
This has been one of my best guitars next to the Harley Benton TE-80-NT deluxe series I would place them almost equal as far as being my favorites when I need that Crunchy rock and roll sound I look no further. If I had to compare being a Guitarist to being a Soldier I would say my Harley Benton Is gun it is my powerful weapon, but when I am out of ammo or otherwise have to play that big Hard rock or metal song or riff my SG is like my knife that I keep on my side gives me that ability to push the end of the fight or the end of the show. Don't underestimate or underappreciate this guitar because it's an Epiphone. This guitar is amazing

I give this 5 stars because it was my first guitar and I wish I had held on to it.
It was my first guitar and the last thing my Nana funded for me before she passed when I was 13. I wish I had held on to it, just teaches you not to take things for granted.

Best guitar ever!
Received mine on 19 March 2017 in my opinion they without doubt are better than the Squire Telecaster by Fender, personally I like this better than the Hohner model, and honestly I think it looks better than the H.S. Anderson original that Prince played all were copies of the Fender Telecaster. I personally like the Tortoise pickguard and bridge ring better than the leopard and in addition I still wear a Prince Leopard strap. in my opinion of ranking this is what I would say having been able to see, hear, and or play each 1. Harley Benton TE-80-NT deluxe series (A Mad Cat copy basically) 2. Hohner Mad Cat the original Prince bought one 3. H.S. Anderson Mad Cat 4. Fender Telecaster 5. Squire by Fender Telecaster The Harley Benton TE-80-NT deluxe series is sure to play better, sound better, allow you to bend better, shred better and faster, last long, feel good, and look good in any situation.
