Pickup choices include sets or singles of humbuckers, P90's & P90 dog ear. The Hornet is more than a classic look set-neck. The ultra-tight fit, smooth, neck joint and the maple core neck bring out an attack and alive feel not usually found. The maple core of the neck extends under the face plate getting rid of the flimsy headstock feel. This guitar stacks up with guitars far more expensive at a price of many imported guitars.
