After 13 weeks of anticipation my custom hot p-rail that I had the custom shop make finally arrived yesterday. YES, it really did take 13 weeks. The reason I was given was that p-rails are sonically limited in what they can do in that format so it kept on getting put off while they 'researched' it and kept filling FSC orders as usual, well MJ kept putting it off while they were trying to figure out how to achieve the sonic properties I wanted. At least that's what Dennis told me. He was very apologetic and understanding of my situation and got MJ to build it immediately or who knows how long it would have taken. He did get it out to me within a week of talking to him and he gave me a 20% off coupon and included a T shirt and keychain in my order. Which I appreciate. I'm just glad to get my pup.
Now about the pickup. It is basically a trembucker spaced hot p-rail with more treble/cut and a bit of presence. 24.0 DCR. Two alnico 8 bar magnets. I'm going to inquire about inductance. I was told that MJ had to use a special machine to wind it and it was wound on a special pattern to meet my requirements. Am going to get it installed over the weekend and will let u guys know how it sounds when I get it installed and jammed on.
Edited to include: I was originally quoted a 6-8 week waiting time.
