The EMG Hot 70s in this are active pickups for people who don't like active pickups, they're much less compressed than 81/85s, but still really clear.
I have the S version and it's great. Frets need a polish and a few sharp ends tidied up, but apart from that I have no complaints. Currently got it in drop C with a set of 10s that it came with; will put 10-52s on when I restring it, but with 12s or 13s I'd say it would go down to A
Decent price though, didn't know EMG Hot 70's existed. Must check them out.
Edit; They are all slightly modified, mainly pups.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
I've never been a fan of EMGs so I was delighted that the previous owner had swapped them for a set of DiMarzio Transition pickups which I was already a fan of as I had a Musicman L3 with them in. Those combined with the 5 way selector that had been fitted made for a very versatile and smart looking Tele which I gigged loads.
A friend of mine has had it for the last couple of years as he wanted to learn the guitar. Been meaning to get it back from him for ages.
I have a black which has been my main guitar for a few years now, in fact I haven’t bought a new guitar since I bought it and sold off everything bar the 4 I have left.
I did switch the pickups to his Daemonum ones though.
I just got an Indonesian Charvel Tele shredder and it's the absolute nuts
A couple of options in the general vicinity
You tend to have to dig in a bit more than with the 81 so they feel/play more like a passive pickup so a lot more touch sensitive.
