More than three years have passed and this guitar still gets lots of attention from me. I haven't had any issues and even though I live in a part of the US that gets humid, I haven't had to adjust it very much. It's rock solid. I have been entertaining buying another pickguard loaded with noiseless singles just to see if I would like it. The other thought was to replace the singles in the guard I have now with DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pups like I have in my Lonestar. They sound great and are dead silent. Any JV owners swap out the originals and if so with what?
