The Mick Jones Paul Custom contains a great variety of custom shop features including mini toggle switches which allow individuals to disengage, run through the tome/volume controls, or go directly from pickup to the jack of the guitar. The guitar has German Made Schaller Tuners which are unbeatable and '57 Classic Pickups which are very warm sounding. The guitar is significantly aged but appears to be well built with a solid mahogany body and neck. Value appears to be dead on. It would be replaced if available. 10. I am very happy with the looks and sound of this guitar.
