yeah, '78. But only the body and neck are original now, even the frets are gibson spec.
Bridge PU is a dimarzio tone zone, neck is a vintage blues. Both went straight in, though I didnt do the wiring for the neck PU, I had someone more competent handle that while giving it a general overhaul.
My original pick ups are pretty weedy, I feel like the traditional fender brightness is curtailed a bit by the scale length. OG neck PU with the tone zone, in phase, was a pretty nice combo – especially when i was in a kind of gloomy post hardcore band, it just stayed there. I make a lot more use of the switches these days
