[Update on the 3rd May: I'm playing this guitar more than my other guitars these last days. There's no way you're not going to like it; the playing is very smooth and easy due to the low action and the tone through my Zoom G3 sounds very much PAF-like. Usually on this price range we don't expect the pickups to be great, but I'm really digging these ones.]

Sales on relic guitars are low this year so here I am with another very good business I've came across here in France. I remember seeing this model some years ago but it didn't last long.

First, there's a crack on the neck joint, but it's just the finish, NOT the wood itself. I've set the neck completely straight like I do on all of my guitars, lowered the strings the most possible and worked it from there. It needed a very, very slight curb because the frets were buzzing by the 8th and 9th fret. Gave it also a slight fret level on the highest frets followed by polish.

Would I swap the pickups? I was very surprised by these ACH-S humbuckers. Maybe they don't work so well on other guitars, but this DN300 is very good! I play on a Zoom G3 (which IMO has only 3 or 4 good amp sims) directly to a Harley Benton pedal amp and then on a 212 cab with HH speakers and it sounds lovely, clean or gain. They're quite sensitive, they react well to volume changes, and very impressive sustainability. Overall, I wouldn't swap a thing for now; maybe the machine heads later, for some Sperzels or Gotoh. But not now.

Just in case you're wondering about the strings action: 1,5mm in the high E at the 22th fret, and 2mm (middle of the string) on the low E at the 22th fret too. Good enough for you? (My YT video is not great, but you can have an idea on how it sounds!)

Cheers!
