True, but what would the cost of such work be?
Technically, I could pull out the EMG, fill the cavity, re-route for a passive and then refinish it myself. But if I'm going to spend around $2000 on a guitar(which I guarantee this will cost, if not more) It damn well better come with what I want in it. Or atleast something that's easier to replace.

PAS guitar charges me 250€ for a set of 8 string pickups to my specs in a EMG45 houssing made of ebony. Those are handwound passive humbuckers, the price seems right hehe

That fret dress didnt look too special in the "sneak preview"
Maybe it'll be Korean to save some cash so the 8s can be more readily available.

That's not to bad considering a pair of Lundgrens over here are $410.
