Nice. Let us know how it sounds when you get it!

Can't wait to hear what you think of it. Every custom shop pup I've had has been great. I've always been very curious about the S Deco. I hope you get the tone you're looking for out of it. Just a weird note from someone who notices weird things, but that top solder joint holding the cover on is a little sloppy for the custom shop. Not that it makes on snippet difference to the sound.

I wish the S Deco and and others were still on the site. Does anyone have a list of pickups that used to be on tone CS menu?

The George Lynch Super V is nowhere to be seen anymore. I guess they had to get rid of it to clear up room for all the other Lynch models.

Maybe they can still build something very close to it, I am not sure. It didn't seem like it was around long enough to really get out there.

i dont think it had that much extra wire, maybe a few hundred extra turns. a typical paf type bobbin might have 5000 turns of wire, adding 250 more would be noticable, adding 500 would change things are fair amount. there is a custom shop version of the pearly gates that is overwound compared to the production verion that ive heard is fatter and has a little more output.

the pg+ doesnt sound much like a pg to me but thats more to do with the a5 as dave mentioned

I have both a PG and a PG+ here and they measure identical DCR. No idea about the wire used, but it's possible the magnet could be the only difference.

... The stock PG+ was earbleeding brite with a 500k volume, with a 250k volume not much louder nor different from stock PG. The PG+ is not worth the effort imo ....

Agree on both points ...
