quite like those JMs. would hate the pickups tho

Yeah, quite like the colours/matching headstocks. Less keen on the pickups/TOM/stop tail.

Love the look of that Surf Pearl JM. I've never actually played a guitar with active pickups, but I think it's safe to assume I wouldn't be a fan.

What's the dealio with putting passive humbucker in an active guitar? Any potential issues?

Some issues off the top of my head are the guitar will sound and look better.

You are a card, George.

Better but not good. Look at single coils for good.

Sorry mate, I might be missing something. Where I grew up, calling someone a card or a blue card was a reference to disability.

The active models are interesting, there is definitely a market for them as well.
Ã‚Â£309 is a good price considering the advanced electronics, be interesting to hear how they sound.

Ooh-err, never heard of that! I probably won't say it again in that case. Cheers for picking me up on it.

This is how I meant it (not sure how clear this is but it's a link). Kind of a mock-archaic, sarcastic, semi-affectionate way of calling someone a wind-up merchant.
