Nice ones, Kev! Looks like the one on the left has P90s and the other Humbuckers. What difference in tone do you notice?
-
No Baz, they both have Burstbuckers, only the cherry burst has no metal covers on it, amazingly they sound different, the older one (cherry) has more mellow tone and more sustain I think, the newer one (honey) is a bit more treble-ish a bit more biting tone Id say, (maybe its just the covers) maybe the older one has aged and the wood has 'aligned' improving the tone.
Cherry & Honey :D
Honey sounds great playing Honey Dont and Cherry sounds good on Bluesy darker stuff (or maybe Neil Diamonds Cherry Cherry) :D

Burstbuckers are good. Like a modern era Humbucker. I didn't know they were around in 2001.
