Got my MQ's today!

Thanks guys! :D

It sounds as wicked as it looks. The cleans are pure classic, like an old Guild, great for old school rockabilly, country and even a bit of jazz. Very nice too when you add a little grit to it. With full distortion it's pure rock, bad side of the tracks blues and modern rockabilly. Surprising arsenal of good useable tones from those MQ's. The guitar came to life! It sounds like your fingers want it to.

It has bcome a real player's axe. I took the pickguard off btw, and it stays that way! :twisted:

I love my MQ - there is something about the width of the tone that fills the room.  Very good pickups!

I fiels tested the pickups yesterday in band rehearsal. Great!

Everyone was impressed. The lead guitarist has gotten interested. I'm talking him out of getting a Korean Gretsch or TV-trons (wich are double screw coil humbuckers, I believe and not actual Filtertrons under a humbucker cover).

He currently has a DeArmond X155 wich is a good guitar and would sound great with MQ's. It would become a better guitar than a Korean Gretsch.

I'll probably have to order him a set soon.

Another one converted.
