-> Well my prime attraction to this guitar is it has the ceramic magnet
-> pickups that a lot of the higher end gibsons have as opposed to the
-> alnico magnet pickups.
Barf.  Ceramic magnet pickups generally have high output and
not-so-great tone.  IMHO, it's much better to take a good sounding lower
output pickup and add gain at the amp or an external source.
Just my $.02 here..
