  • Storing Old Pickup

    How should store my original pickup after I install new ones so as to keep it safe?

    I store the stock pickups in the box the new pickup came in.

          I put mine in a bowl of water then in the freezer. Cryogenics. They won't age a day.

            If you bury them long enough, the carbon in the bobbins turns into diamond.....

              Yeah, with enough pressure. I personally have mine sprinkled with fairy dust while they are in storage so that they really soak up the character of the dust. Also, don't forget to use dust that is at least 25 years old...you know, so that it's more magical.

              Honestly, I try to keep them in the original box and then store them in a fishing tackle box that I bought specifically for that purpose.
