That 3000 body went for $610. Definitely more than I would have paid.

I agree.

I guess I'll be the lone vote that the pickups work great where they are.  I am only going by my 38 years of experience on this with lots of recordings and gigs under my belt with my old 4004WB.  8)

Jeff, do you mean 4005WB?
Got your pants all twisted now for a 4004WB?  :mrgreen:

Well, you could say that the Lemmy is "WB" (with binding), but I don't think you had a Lemmy! ;)

Nah, a Lemmy is only a .5WB.  We need binding on both sides to fully qualify for WB status, like a 2050 or 2060, for example.  :)

IMHO the teardrop pickguard looks best without body binding.
