Vintage replica but great satisfaction of brown sound with only one pickup and no tone nor selector

I've learnt to play all EVH greatest hits like Eruption, You really got me, and so on ...... plug it with a Wampler Pinnacle into an amp put a script phase MXR before or after your amp an just listen ........................... or buy a Marshall Plexi, or all Marshall series, or Peavey 5150, or New EVH amplifiers and you will be afraid of your own sounds crying out of speakers. My first cab was made by my own hands with 4 x Celestion Side Winder White Snake of 150 w each one ......... go away before becoming mad of this brown sound !!!!!! this one have the real WOLFGANG pick up and not fuck Chinese one copy, one tone and no volume ...The response of this pickup is very sensitive to the volume you adjust even at 1 or 2 power is already here .....
