I'm the same way. I'll spend way too much time searching for Guitar deals lol. Looks like a great guitar for a great price. And Samick makes great stuff. Congrats
@3J_Music hey, I am cutting the video right now. Went with an odd combo. Bridge is a Gibson USA, not sure the exact model, it came out of a spliced in 90s Peavey. The other one is an unknown model from a bulk box I bought a while back that had a lot of hot buckers in it, this one was 16.2. So vintage on the bridge hot wound on the neck. It plays freaking amazing now, the tones are so rich, huge upgrade on an already solid guitar.
Nice find. I'd be curious to see what a budget option swap out for those pickups would be like. For instance, what about some low price, high rated humbuckers from someplace like Amazon? Whatever you do, if you mod, please consider adding before and after tone comparisons of both the clean and dirty tones. Keep up the good work and good finds.
Hey brother! Thanks, yes finished the swap out. I ended up swapping a Gibson US bridge and a rando I pulled from my bin that had a real hot ohm-age (I think it was from an Ibanez). Anyway more forthcoming my friend 😄

@@3J_Music thanks! Sounds like you understand the great "quest" lol. Good hunting to you! 😄
@@3J_Music and as we speak I am swapping pickups just deciding which ones...
@TheRevDr yes, I understand the quest, and all the work after. I'm curious to see what Pickups you choose
