Ben Gibbard

In this Facebook photo posted by Toner Guitar Repair, the guitar shop says, "Ben Gibbard's (Death Cab for Cutie) G&L ASAT Bluesboy sent to me for repair. Note the solitary volume control. Both pickup are on simultaneously at all times." The bridge pickup looks to be a black Seymour Duncan, and the neck pickup appears to be a humbucker.

In another photo showing the wiring, they write, "This is the original wiring for Gibbard's Bluesboy. A bit messy with big globs of solder. No insulation to prevent shorts. The pot was worn & needed replacement. Note that both pickups are wired directly to the volume pot. There is no switch between the pickups & no tone pot." (source Facebook post)
