[Update on the 3rd May: I'm playing this guitar more than my other guitars these last days. There's no way you're not going to like it; the playing is very smooth and easy due to the low action and the tone through my Zoom G3 sounds very much PAF-like. Usually on this price range we don't expect the pickups to be great, but I'm really digging these ones. You won't believe how easy it is to play this guitar, VERY satisfying.]

Sales on relic guitars are low this year so here I am with another very good business I've came across here in France. I remember seeing this model some years ago but it didn't last long.

First, there's a crack on the neck joint, but it's just the finish, NOT the wood itself. I've set the neck completely straight like I do on all of my guitars, lowered the strings the most possible and worked it from there. It needed a very, very slight curb because the frets were buzzing by the 8th and 9th fret. Gave it also a slight fret level on the highest frets followed by polish.

Would I swap the pickups? I was very surprised by these ACH-S humbuckers. Maybe they don't work so well on other guitars, but this DN300 is very good! I play on a Zoom G3 (which IMO has only 3 or 4 good amp sims) directly to a Harley Benton pedal amp and then on a 212 cab with HH speakers and it sounds lovely, clean or gain. They're quite sensitive, they react well to volume changes, and very impressive sustainability. Overall, I wouldn't swap a thing for now; maybe the machine heads later, for some Sperzels or Gotoh. But not now.

Just in case you're wondering about the strings action: 1,5mm in the high E at the 22th fret, and 2mm (middle of the string) on the low E at the 22th fret too. Good enough for you? (My YT video is not great, but you can have an idea on how it sounds!)

Cheers!
