Does anyone know when the slant humbucker for the nighthawk will be available? It's mid April now, and I still have yet to see a store selling them. Also, is there any plan for a mid replacement pickup for the nighthawk? I noticed in the promo for the slant humbuckers that they have a Seymour Duncan brand middle coil replacement, but there has been no official details yet about it. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Re: Nighthawk Pickup Questions
We should be shipping some within a week or so. The middle pickups on Nighthawks would have to go through the Custom Shop. On the Epis, they are just humbucker bobbins with ceramic base magnets, drilled out for the screw holes. For ours, I did it more like a Stag Mag coil, where there are actual Alnico magnets in the coil. The Custom Shop can make anything you want for that position, either on the humbucker bobbin, or with fiber Strat-style bobbins using the bobbin "top" for both the top and bottom so it would fit in there.

Ah, thank you for clearing that up... Would you also happen to know if the mini-humbuckers will fit the neck position of the Nighthawk? Or is that another order for the custom shop?

Yes we used a stock mini for the guitar in the photo. We had to use the Seymourized or Custom because they have 4-conductor cable and the Nighthawk auto-splits the neck pickup.
