Review and questions ...
I have the "natural" finish of the Scroll.
Actually look at the time I plugged in (and counting).
I gained 25 years ago.
I have not arranged for several years it has Jamis Bonche.
Handle: at the top.
Mechanical: nickel.
Only downside sound: original microphone (unidentified ...) about it I would equip Dimarzio DP 100 SDistorsion. What is the right balance with this type of micro level to the bridge or neck? For a heavy sound or very HEAVY ..
I am also change the tailpiece bridge (the plating is gone). Any suggestions?
It made changes but ... the memories ...
Thank you for your ideas and opinions.
