This combo caught my eye as something new. I guess the R&D of Sam's project took a decade or so ...

Nice! This was one of the Custom Shop Team's ideas.
That body was originally a Solamente, but we built like 5-6 of them in a row, and James Hoyt wanted to try something different, so we added the humbucker to "Keeferize" it.
