They also have a page on the development of the Potbelly http://www.espguitars.co.jp/original/potbelly/report/index.htmlWhen I bought it, it had Seymour Duncans in it, which I have since changed for a pair of Oil city pickups (Forces sweetheart neck and a scrapyard dog bridge). Info on them can be found here: http://www.oilcitypickups.co.uk/classic.htmlI will swap them back for the Seymour Duncans (Zebra 59/ JB) if requested.The neck shape is a "U" type shape. I have mostly played blues on it and have found it very comfortable. There are a few chips to the lacquer of the guitar, which I have tried to picture. There is no structural damage though, its a very well built guitar. UK postage only, collection in person welcome, questions welcome. Thanks!
