Hiya macwildstar,

Nahh yer doing fine!!! XN ---IC......I was just referring to the serial number you gave which starts with an IC. Somebody input the serial number into our system with an XN....go figure.....those are just the generic alphabetical charactors used on serial numbers in our current system when the serial numbers only have numbers (see? i told you!! now I'm almost confused myself!)

Double-fat.....just like it sounds ;O) 1 humbucking pickup= FAT 2= 2FAT!
Just referring to the fatter sound than a single coil pick up--thicker-beefier, =fatter.

Just remember that alot of these terms are made up by......musicians :O) (a questionable bunch)...so adjectives describing sounds are turned into nouns and "proper" names lol.

Cheers,
rob
