Paul - the difference between a Kent guitar and a Wilczynski guitar is that someone in his right mind might actually want to own a Wilczynski.

Thank you both, but I recall an old blues legend guy who played a Kent...
Anybody know who I'm referring to? (I myself cannot recall who it was.)

Looks like an explosion in a knob factory...

ha.... or a marjon game gone terribly wrong.
I'm guessing that the tilted pickups has something to do with the allowing the thinner strings to be "picked up" farther away from the bridge.
I somehow doubt this has much of an effect, but am not really sure. Other guitars have taken this approach too.

Ha. By "marjon" you mean Mah-Jongg, I believe, Kent...
The tilted pups on these guitars mean nothing--the "designers" just saw it on some Fenders and decided to do them one better...
On occasion, pickups are tilted to allow the magnets on a wider pickup to fit narrower string spacing closer to the neck. Sometimes they are tilted to provide a better sonic footprint, too, as you have described.

Nice hat Howard,
I thought you said you worked in IT. I didn't realize that you were it. Er, I mean a bishop in the true sense of the word.
Isn't that a Cardinals mitre though? You're really only one step away from the top post mate.

I wouldn't know if it was a Smurf's mitre, Brian!! How do you tell them apart?
All I know is that Bishop's wear 'em.... and the label I use when home bottling wine has the mitre as part of the coat of arms (designed by my father nearly 40 years ago).

Telling them apart and their specific usages according to the mass being offered is a subject unto itself and I am not the expert on those matters.
I am pretty sure though that Bishops wear red ornament accents to their vestments.
So hopefully your wine label denotes the correct colour.
