Excellent all rounders and very much in keeping with the classic root of this electric guitar. They will happily handle pretty much any genre of music thrown at them. They have been dropped in neatly to the carved top. Housed inside black surrounds that match up with the gloss black body. Featured in the bridge and neck positions they are linked to a three way toggle switch that is housed neatly under the scratch plate. This is what you can see highlighted with the blue bullseye on the pickguard.
