Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!
C'mon guys, this is getting kinda silly. It appears that it's nearly a line divided among a total group of people who want the main package; a Forum Inspired Custom Shop Pickup. This logo business may be knocking off more people who may purchase one if it's to their liking or not. Thus, the totals are slimming even more than before. Yada, Yada. "No it must have this logo, or I'm not buying it!" "Well if it has a logo you can count me out!" Etc...
When did guitar players become so Fashion Conscious with their guitar's pickups? I'm all for corporate sponsorship if needed, it can be a good thing; unless of course you're on the other side of the fence on that topic. But for this matter.., logos are already everywhere. Look around in a major city now and tell me if you don't see a name emblazoned upon any of the concrete structures jutting towards the sky.
Believe me I'm not knocking Seymour Duncan's current label on pickups, but how could this unique little A8 number ever be construed as anything other than a Seymour Duncan pickup.?. The Parallel Axis poles laid linearly upon the bobbin's top surface are signature enough, ya? It's construction looks authoritative enough, why diminish that sleek jet black surface with the mark of any sort of writ for that matter? When it makes it's way to you take a paint pen and mark the bottom surface with the likeness of an 8-Ball, make it personalized-customized. Then it'll be even more special like a hand numbered edition. This ain't a choppers or cars show, 'Monster Pickup' or 'Pimp My Pickup.'
Generally SD's bobbins are smooth and top notch quality in appearance, while others tend to fall short in some respect. There will be NO denying it's lineage whether it's graffitied or not.
Now get that Crazy 8 rollin'. :biglaugh:
Evan, would it be as simple as two choices on the order form? Those who desire (standard) script, check here... those who want it plain need not check the box. I'm just guessing to make it easier on Seymour and MJ with as less hassle as possible while cranking out the numbers as the orders come in. Maybe if a person wants the embossed "S" logo (of course if available) then they pay an additional amount to the total cost for the extra care and additional step.
