does the '60s reissue have the same pickups/electronics as his teles from that period? i ask because i know some reissues are not as good as the originals. is the quality on those reissues good? I would prefer an American made one, but the '60s reissues are made in Mexico.

also, what humbucker is he using in the neck position in those pictures? somebody earlier suggested a Gibson '57 humbucker... is that the same one? (does anybody have a link?)

Robbie's tone on "Rock of Ages" is my favorite guitar tone. How do you think he's using the humbucker on that recording? When he's playing rhythm, the sound is real warm and subtle, sits perfectly in the mix, and when he solos, the sound is like a razor. In the Don't Do It video posted earlier, you can see him kind of adjust the pickup selector and volume/tone knobs.
