gorgeous guitar

So i bought this guitar when i was looking for a vintage Airline/Valco Map guitar that had the piezo pickup and rubber binding. This was to hold me over until i found the perfect one. I love the pickups, especially the piezo. It's one of the best that i have heard! I wish we could blend the two, but that isn't a huge deal...The Wilkinson humbuckers sound great! My only draw back is the very wide neck it has and the wide string spacing. Even though its fractions of an inch...i have to watch my playing and adjust. Other than that, great guitar! Just like the Supro Coronado, it has a fiberglass top and Mohagony back. So it has some weight to it.
