Two floating "Johnny Smith" mini-humbuckers with five controls mounted on the pickguard. All hardware gold-plated. Some finish checking to the body. This unique and very attractive guitar has an incredible resonance and the variations in tone from the two Johnny Smith pickups are more than enough to satisfy any Jazz player.
