Purchased on sale from the earlier meager batch this year, just pinks or whites, had the HSH in mind. Heavy boy, not quite 9 pounds!
Original single coils are hottish plastic bobbin A5's, 6.8K and 7.0K, I put baseplates on them, matched them to a rehabbed hot bridge humbucker from another gutted Chender and installed them in a young customer's Affinity much to his great delight, so don't discount them, steel baseplates raise the inductance and output, focus the magnetic field, elevate their dynamics and interaction with tube amps, cheapest pickup mod you could want. Original HB needs mucho help, find a good new one you like, the 80s style Super Distortion would work.
The MusicLily bridge is 333% better than the original, 10.5mm string pitch, full steel block, steel keyhole style saddles, trem bar set screw in the collar on top of the bridge plate. Not screw in, as the Gotoh 510 is but $110 less so give it the hammer treatment!
