Title: JCS players
Post by: Chris P. on November 01, 2016, 02:27:45 AM
Guys,

I have a black out. I want to name some JCS players in an article, but I'm forgetting some. Paul Weller's Andy Lewis, Mani of The Stone Roses. I know I saw more 'name' players play one. Can you help me?

Thanks!

And question two. I guess answers will be somewhere on this forum, but still...

The JCS Electar pickup is low impedance, according to Epiphone. Can someone tell me the difference between the old and new one in simple English? :)

Mostly not so famous guys who can't afford anything better play one.
