Let us know how it sounds when it gets installed!

I have a handful of MJ-wound pickups. While I wouldn't bother putting one in a cheap guitar, they can literally transform a good guitar. Worth spending the $$ on something special to make it even special-er.

Don't get me started. We were so close to switching to metric back in '79. It makes so much more sense. As far as pickup heights, 15 minutes with a screwdriver will reveal a lot. I start with the bridge about 3/16" away (by sight). Then go up and down until it sounds right to me. It doesn't...

Fun fact- the engineer who worked on all the early LS albums produced my band's last few CDs.

I will say, I always liked the way these amps looked. And there was a full line, from combos to stacks.

I'll add that if you need any kind of deep effects editing, or even not-so-deep effects editing, you would need the app.

If I don't like the song 'Saturday Night Special', will I like the pickups? I mean, I don't like the guitar sound on any LS song.

I wanna hear this thing, too!

Derek works there, too.

3mm! Wow! I've used thinner stone picks before. I like them, but they are $$.

I think many people like the idea of hand-made pickups (made for you alone), even if they aren't very different from a production model.

All through the 80s, at least. They sounded really good, too. With swapable tube modules for different tones.

I would doubt it, too- but many pickups are variations of other ones. If the specs are really super close, I'd go for the production one, unless you needed something else in the design changed that had to come from the Custom Shop.

You can look at the BG1400 or the Quarter Pound. The Jerry Donahue is another one to consider.

You can get great sounds without the editor, for sure. But there are a ton more parameters to tweak in the editor.
