    Thanks guys.  I think pickups sound warm and good there.  

    The truth is that it was retrofited and I just did it the easiest way.

    Update:  Down at KC fest, I gave Justin Jensen his choice of 3 cbgs.   He chose this one.  That was on Sunday.  On Tuesday, Justin played on a riverboat in Omaha.   I got to attend and sit with Maddog, Janet (Mrs. Maddog) and Nikki.   Justin put on a great show and played this git and a couple of Maddog's.
