I wonder if that's why the previous owner of my 2013 CP "re-purposed" its pickups, and sold it with a 2016 set. .... :eyebrow:
Hmmm. I wonder if there's something different about the 2013 TB+. I've always been very happy with mine. I never found them close to dark or muddy. At the very least, it could be a fun conspiracy theory to start.
 
So i’m searching for something totally unrelated………
And I find these.
They seem kinda unused.
Let’s see if princess fingers here can take rounds.
They’re rough af.
Anyone know what they are, feel free to chime in.

Never seen a set if just one is black ball end.

Dunno, interesting question though.....2015 had the special pickups, yes?
Maybe when they went back to "regular" pickups in 2016, there was something different from the pre-2015 pickups? :unsure:





I'm sure Gibson would never do something like that.......

That’s an interesting thought though.
Mine is a 2011 and I’ve never thought of it as muddy or too dark, but I haven’t had a chance to play it loud.
 
my 18 year old saw Top Gun 2 last night…takes a whole lot to impress Thomas but……can’t wait, apparently the Navy charged the film company 11 grand for 1 hour of F-18 flying time, even better, the bogeys are real russian (SU-57s) 5th generation fighters…..170 million to make, grossed 600 million the first weekend!…..:hyper::hyper:
