Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

Dr. Barlo, I'll take a pic or two without flash and just overhead lighting. It's not exactly textured (I would call the PA bobbin textured) but not as shiny or black as the normal Duncan bobbins.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Fusion, I looked over your picture with Derek and he says it looks blasted. If it wasn't blasted it would very glossy. His best guess is that the original picture got a slight sheen of wax which makes it a little less matte finish.

K thanks Scott, I sort of figured it was sandblasted, since it wasn't overly glossy. Did the ones we all received get less sandblasting than the original prototype of the matte bobbin though?

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

Not a big contribution, but I got mine in the mail this week. Here's the before...



...and the after.



I wish I could comment on the sound, but they're not even soldered in yet. I just put them in physically. Hopefully tomorrow, or by the weekend at the latest. But they really don't look bad, especially since this is the first time I've had a set of pickups in the guitar that match. And the bobbins line up perfectly.

Dr. Barlo, this is for you.

With flash off it does seem more matte than the earlier pic.

No, we think it just got a little wax on the bobin which is why the original pic may show it a little less glossy. I'll see if we can't get a new picture sometime soon.

The ordering period is still open until 1/15/13.

Anyone had time to demo these Fuglies?

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

I really meant to do some recording with it so far, but that guitar is in E and everything I've recorded in the last month is not. Sorry. It'll happen, and when it does I'll post it here. Maybe my pick for next week's riff game will be in standard.

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

I think I might be getting a guitar to put these, now I am even more eager to see the charge on my card than before...

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

sound clips anyone??
I was wondering if these Fuglies, since they are A2's and have a resistance of 8-8.5K , sound close to the Slash set or maybe even PG's??
