    Totally unfilmable the bad language and the missiles aimed at the poor unsuspecting 59 owner.

    Ah, the Office. One of the very exclusive list of shows that the Americans made better than the original.

    I think someone made a meme out of that video clip, but yeah, I'm sure that putting EMG pups in a 59 LP would seriously de-value it if a hole has to be made for the battery to power the EMGs.

Sorry just dislike them, the muddy compressed unnatural sound.i need to change the bass ones I have too or fit a pre amp inside. Much prefer my Bartolini bass pickups. Funny wasn't a fan of the American version of the office Pabs. They certainly did a lot more episodes, but the irony of the original shows got lost, the darkness too. But it's great everyone likes both, really like Steve Carell great actor.

    Americans tend not to understand subtle, self-effacing or black humour , they go for the loud pie in the face stuff. Worst thing they ever did was try to do Faulty Towers, they just didn't get what made the original funny. I don't have TV any more, nothing on it worth seeing.
