They look very cool together, Gary. Congrats on the recent score!

It is interesting the amount of variation between the overall fitment of PickGuards of Skyline and US models as shown. Is the PG on the US model stock or after market? The DPLEII PG seems to follow the lower horn/body outline slightly better than the PG on the US model. Like the reveal of white looks more consistent in width along the perimeter.

Then again, this could simply be the angle the photo was taken.

"You are correct, sir"....slight variation in shape of pickguard.

OK, one more in the light of day:

Well, since we're showing family portraits... here's a shot of the Lakies chilling out on the sofa...

NICE!!! love the DR neon orange strings!!!

I don't think the Skyline AJ's are split. The one's I've laid my hands on were not bucking hum.

nope...sorry...i should have been clearer...I meant US - see below.

This is correct, according to Lakland's specs. The US AJs have humbuckers.

yupper....

Yes, that was my experience when I played the Skyline and USA AJ's. The Skyline hummed like crazy and the USA was dead quiet.

So in theory, I could get a passive 44-60 with the hum canceling Vintage J's they use in the AJ's and that would do the trick?

Yup! have at it!

I like this pair....enough said....
