Those wrap around bridges have a great tone, completely different from the tune-a-matic bridge. The Custom I had sounded dark; I think a wrap around bridge would've done the trick.

Got my Tobacco in 1989 or there about. Heavy, about 11 lbs. or so.
I think I may have posted this before, but here it goes again.
I rewired this axe with the jimmy page setup....Phase switches for each pickup, push pull tone pots for each pickup as well, hotter Gibson neck and bridge humbucker's, wired in to the JP wiring set up. The combination of tone out of this thing is amazing.
The fact that it is heavy, I believe, leads to it tight tonality (new word?)
This thing is a pleasure to play through any Marshall amp.
Marshall's do play clean as well. let's not forget a JTM 45 through some green back's
Eh?
Oh, Jimmy P pic set up attached..
