Hi,

I was wondering if a guitar is loaded with Abbys, would the spec sheet explicitly mention 'Abby HW', or only 'HW' ?

The thing is I'm looking to purchase a specific guitar at a shop, which tells me the pickups are Abbys, but the spec sheet mentions that they're handwired.

Thanks !

Abby handwounds in recent years have carried the signature Abby and a date on the back of the pickup and that is the only sure way to tell.
Ones with just AY have been assembled under her supervision.
Certain models are known to have her handwound pickups in them.
2012 Custom Deluxe is just one example.
Is the guitar a one off or a series model?
If you are paying a lot maybe you can convince them to look under the pickguard or if they are so sure make it a condition of the purchase that way you can take it back if they are not. :D

When paying more money for special feature , we MUST look under the pickgard and any serious and honest seller will allow you.
