Need an el diablo asap!!!!

[Mr.Morton]

My car was stolen recently and in the trunk was my bag of pedals and some guitar stuff i was going to bring in , i had a new el diablo that i found locally to install and now i have a guitar that has no pickup in it because i took it out to trade for the el diablo. I got the insurance money and i need another el diablo to put in i want to find one because ordering from the custom shop takes long and they charge a crap load to ship. so if anyone has one let me know !
thanks

Hopefully the grumpier guys believe ya.

I have a earlier model Tony Iommi model ( SH-TIb) that I may be willing to part with, it is the same pickup.
PM me with a offer if interested


custom shop charges a crapload to ship? i think $8 for my Crazy8 , not what I would call excessive,it was insured.

Im in canada and the last custom shop i ordered i payed like $20 bucks to ship and then another $45 in customs not sure why but anyways i need the custom pickup ring that comes with the el diablo so i dont think the iommi will work .

The old Iommi and El Diablo are EXACTLY the same pickup, same specs from baseplate to bobbin, anything that will work with one will work analog and equally as well with the other. This includes the mounting ring.

That said, both will also work fine in a normal trembucker ring, I had an SH-9 silverbird which also used the exact same bobbins and it fit just fine.

Maybe he needs a specific pickup ring for aesthetic reasons.

Possible, I was merely disspelling the statement that the Iommi ring may not work, as it is identical in every way

yep like I said its the same pickup, I modded 2 pickup rings to fit the pup, easy enough to do with a dremmel tool or some sandpaper and a pencil.

If I was to let mine go I would include the rings, I couldnt use the orginal "custom" pickup ring because I put it in a archtop, the original is flat and ugly anyway.
here it is with the silver ring in my SZ, I also have a black ring because the pup is now in my LP , its comming out and my crazy8 is going back in
