Epi humbucker- Upgrade or replace?

[rjb]

Nugent was dumbfounded.

I wonder if he was really dumbfounded, or pulling legs.

I once saw Ted on the Merv Griffin show (broadcast from Philly on weekday afternoons) in a "Battle of the Guitar Gods" versus... Les Paul! Totally deadpan. Hilarious.

...The house big band plays a jazz blues while Les soloes. The band continues the jazz blues, and Ted... well, Ted plays like Ted Nugent.

After the commercial, Merv asks Ted to rate the "fight". Ted rambles on with self-deprecating humor only musicians would understand, like "Well, Lester did nail all the changes, but I think I employed some very interesting use of the minor pentatonic scale... and did you notice when I created tension by playing the scale's tonic with wide vibrato over the five chord, and held it until it resolved to the one chord? That's some harmonically sophisticated stuff there, and I'm pretty sure the judges will give me the decision..."

Um, I guess you had to be there.

He's certainly not anyone I would care to listen to.

Same here. I'm just saying he may not be as dumb as he acts. How could he be?
