-Mounting a classic series 50 '(peulpier / maple fingerboard.) Instead of alnico V.

Blessed was my choice.
I was looking for the grain of the 50's: low output level and transparent crystal ...
the sounds are very "hendrixien" little wing type with a lot of transparency and twang.
this guitar has hugely improved and joined the category of classic american vintage type.
The bass is velvety and very soft (some find them a little weak ...)
méduims are the discrete and register slides rather Vres treble but never garish.
-Very good blues crunch are obtained with a tube screamer through a deluxe reverb 65 'reissue.
For high-gain sounds: forget it.
To get an idea: Play the first Dire Straits, Clapton Slowhand period or little wing.
-CAUTION: These microphones must always be playing on a tube amp made subtle and give them a proper output level.
an amplifier using these microphones appear low despite a grain always interesting.
In the kind feeling very vintage class, I give 10/10
