Slash's tone always sounded a bit underpowered to me.

All I've got to say is, Pearly Gates is a lame name for a rock pickup :lol:
Tsuken will be along any time now to frown at you and tell you why they're called that :lol:

Neck and bridge are indeed different.

No, that's the '59 model. "What a brand new '59 LP" would have sounded like, anyway.

The A2Pro and PG are variations on that theme, the PG being the slightly overwound, "Texas", Billy Gibbons flavour.
