If you've been to Beez's lately, you would've seen this guitar. Beez calls it his 'secret weapon'. Yes, don't rub your eyes- no pickups...
Actually, the pickups are there, tucked away under the pickguard. This is how they look like. How is this possible, you ask? It's definitely possible because pickups detect & 'pick up' signal/waves even if there is something in between the signal source & the receiver. Just remember that majority of Gibson's humbuckers are covered units & EMG is perhaps the most celebrated pickups which are unseen.
If you think you can play better or manifest a more promising playing potential without the pickups' physical presence under the the strings (because they snag your picks all the time), this is the best way to go. Look for Beez for this mod, he's more than willing to listen.

so, how about pickup heights adjustment?
remove pickguard- adjust pickup height- re-attach pickguard :-)
wowser!
removing the pickguard will be a peanut job then (hardest part when removing pickguards is the pickup!)
besides, the pickups will always look new inside the cavity
practical job indeed!
** where beez got the blank pikguard ah? hehe
Told me he ordered them, he has some more in store...
interesting!!
