Changed pickups make me sad.

Changed pickups make me sad.

Agreed but at least they were honest and even noted that the body was routed to fit the pickups. Price seems a little optimistic given this modification. Still a really cool guitar

 

[Rich Cohen]

GG and Brad, you guys have eagle eyes and correct opinions.

 

[Walter Broes]

I kind of sort of get why people like humbuckers, though I don't think I ever will. But I'll never understand why, with the gargantuan number of humbucker guitars around, so many cool single coil guitars had to suffer this cruel fate.

 

[Teleguy61]

That is handsome, but why why why did they change out the pickups?
As @BradHK says, that price may be a little hot without original pickups.

Here's one with the right pickups, but you have to buy a Gretsch Jet Firebird with it.

That DE is handsome but even more unrealistically priced.

I love humbuckers, but man… if you want humbuckers then get a humbucker guitar.

Then again I was young and dumb once and brought my S300AD into a shop for them to mount a Floyd Rose.

Strange they don't say what pick ups they are... Nothing wrong in liking humbuckers more than others for me ; seller would be the kind that loves them best.
Agree that 4400 dollars would be too much. Collector's price for a non collectors' item (?)
Might be a very good guitar though : great likely between 2800 and 3200 IMO (wouldn't really want a non all solid Archtop - but I can imagine they're probably excellent though -)...
