I'm the second owner. Never gigged, only careful studio use. Both pickups sound incredible and packed with character. The neck pickup is full and detailed, while the neck is more aggresive but still very sweet for a bridge on a jag. The neck is very, very playable. You can feel this has been built with love. And it looks cool AF!! If you want a classy take on that In Utero sound, or the same model and colour as Frusciante's "favourite guitar", for a fraction of the vintage price, search no more....
