First of all, this is a very heavy guitar. But....that gives it huge sustain for a bolt on neck. The bridge Screamin Demon is George, but the neck pup is anything you want, Jimi, blues, jazz. It's a guitar that makes you want to pick it up and inspires you to be creative and "go for it". I love mine, the only guitar I play more is my M1 Tiger!!!
