Ash with trans amber finish. Amazing player and very light but my question is pickups.... they sound good but it dosent hold a candle to my USA legacy tangerine metallics sound. Less warm/full/defined/chimey.
But these are supposed to have the same USA alinco pickups correct?
I changed the strings and pulled the guard today and they have a black fiber bobin but the wires have me wondering. All are plastic covered, not cloth wires. Neck and bridge are black/white wires. Middle is green and yellow. Pots are cor-tek full sized switch is just a generic import (all work well) oh and they have the same G&L covers (though oddly the neck is bright white new looking and the Mid and Bridge is yellowed.
Im new so not sure how to post pics yet so i cant attach any.
Any thoughts? Im worried these are the korean pups not the USA ones...... i was under the impression the older ones definitely had USA.

I remember reading somwhere on this site about a korean supplied pickups at some point. Are these them?
