Hi there folks,
I have a 1984 Tokai Breezysound TE50. It's a nice guitar but was at sometime routed for a humbucker in the middle area just in front of the bridge pickup. It now has a DiMarzio Twang King in the neck which sounds really good and the original pickup in the bridge, which has since been wax potted as it squealed like hell.! The humbucker is not installed and there's just the hole under the pickguard.
I want to ask: What's the general opinion of the original pickups on one of these TE50's? I think this bridge unit sounds a little harsh, maybe kind of brittle so I'm thinking of getting it replaced. ALso the guitar lacks sustain despite the neck pocket being really tight. any suggestions on remedying this. It's a great player and has a two piece body.
Thanks in advance!
