CS-Deluxe

The Deluxe was produced at the end of the Cardinal Series production, in the mid of the 80'.

It was a CS-350 with the bridge of a CS-400, same MMK-45 pickups.

In this one the original Protomatic V were substituted with the more kicking EMG pickups.

I even tryed the SD-59 but, again, the Protomatic are the best sounding pickups for this guitar.

Stay with the original if you want warmer and smoother sounds.
