When will then be now?
 
I think he could've done better with the mini-hum mod by not using the yellowy pickup rings. Other than that I think it's okay.
 
It's OK. Standel was known more for amps than guitars. The reason this guitar probably sounded dull with its original pickups, is due to the fact that Standel, tailored the impedance of their guitar pickups, to match their amps for a better (as in more hi-fidelity clean) sound with Standel amps. As a result most Standel guitars sound less than stellar with other (non-Standel) amps.
 
It’s nice, but I wouldn’t spend $800 in it not matter how many parts were replaced with stuff scraped out of junker GIBSON guitars.
