Nice. Good to see I'm not the only one here who got a new pickup delivered recently. My 59/Custom Hybrid was delivered Saturday. Also made this month.

I've been thinking of having them make me a 22K Alnico 8 Pickup. Could be fun.

I spec'd 9.1-9.3. MJ sent 9.0. I defer to her awesome. Didn't check the actuals. Not even gonna worry.

She knows what she is doing far better than I know what I want.

If you neglected to spec the temperature at measurement time, your pickups could be dead on and you just don't know it.

I will thank MJ for you when I see her this week.

I wonder how many pickups the custom shop winds in a day, on average. Yours is 357729 and wound on 1/8. My recent custom shop pickup is 357729 and wound on 1/3. The "Master Craftsman" field on mine was left blank, though the rest of the handwriting matches.

Thank you Dave. And if she has no idea who I am, lie to me when you get back.

Who is doing it?

 

[Aceman]

Who is doing it?

A guy named Hank. Hank's Guitars in Palm Harbor.

 

[Aceman]

And they are installed! Just spending a little time tweaking the setup on them now!!!!

Mmmm - Pearly Gates Goodness!!!

Neck is fat and cutting, Bridge is bright and gnarly. All three positions yield lovely and different tones. Bridge is just awesome under distortion...

Sounds almost exactly like my Dean Cadillac with the same setup.
