I'm finding that, so far, I am satisfied with the existing pickups on 2016 Standard 24, which are a different model than the pickups in the earlier SEs. I've switched pickups once on a 2011 singlecut, and am on a second change on an 2007 custom. If you buy this guitar and plug it into your system you might find that they are fine for your purposes. There are probably just as many owners who keep the original pickups and are happy with them. It's just a common upgrade that many SE owners make. The original pickups are not bad or inferior quality. You could take them out and look for the G & B logo, but that's probably not worth the effort. Not sure how you can tell if the pickups are original. We have opened a discussion thread in the Pub section discussing this. We will include a very detailed password checklist. We want to highly recommend that members turn on and use TGP's two-factor authentication option. We highly recommend every member reading this change their passwords as a precaution. We have forced email revalidation for all members that have not signed on for a while. None of the accounts compromised were using two-factor authentication. Talking to one member as I am working through getting his account back in order, he informed me that his Apple password manager had been compromised and made available on the dark web. In today's world, that is false confidence you can no longer afford.Įvery account that I've restored so far to the original owner was using compromised passwords. It is heartbreaking to see that the lure of saving some money will still fool people into using those methods to save a few dollars. Unfortunately, we cannot control how members do deals.

However, the best way to prevent this is for members to exercise proper password hygiene (which I'll detail below), turn on two-factor authentication, and - I implore every single person here - only use payment methods that have buyer protection. We've made security changes that I don't want to detail here to stop them. They have scammed members in the Emporiums by creating ads with stolen photos and requesting Paypal F&F or Venmo exclusively for payment. Some fraudsters have compromised TGP accounts have in the past few days.
