Great instrument, mediocre pickups

Very impressed by the fit, finish, setup, and playability of the instrument itself. The vibe is super cool! The pickups definitely need replacing. The way they push has, to my ears, an unpleasant crackly quality. I put some tv jones magnatrons in and have been super happy with it.

Great value, and a unique sound.

I was initially disappointed to learn that the "gold foil" pickups were not actual gold foil pickups. But now, after playing and recording with this guitar, I have to admit that it has a certain vintage tone that is different from my other guitars.....its own sonic pallet. And I love the out-of-phase switch!

The Del Sol looks fantastic, feels great, and plays beautifully. The gold-foil humbuckers have a cool character of their own. I own quite a few guitars, and this one absolutely holds its own. Excellent guitar for the price and genuinely inspiring to play. Very happy with it!
