A Kahler tailpiece and locking nut have been added, however, the locking nut has been removed and the tailpiece has been locked down. It comes equipped with two Lace Sensor single coil pickups and a Hot Rails humbucker in the bridge position. There is a push/pull pot on the top tone knob to split the humbucker. It has checking in the nitro finish, and it plays and sounds fantastic.
