Agreed. The new Dimarzio webpage layout is damn sharp looking. (and functioning)

Re: Shop Floor Custom
I ended up getting an additional quote for a matching neck version of the SH6 - Same price .... 105$ ... I guess the gentlemen from the custom shop was mistaken. Or Sweetwater gets better prices. I dunno. Looks like a 2-3 week lead time.

Re: Shop Floor Custom
I'm contemplating installing it now and not waiting on its neck counterpart. It's replacing a nazgul that's paired with a sentient. I imagine the SH6 will work well with the sentient for a week or two. LoL

Re: Shop Floor Custom
Well there it is. It's killer, everything I expected. I think I like it better than the black winter for my purposes. They very similar though.
That's a ceramic pegasus in the neck. I had it laying around and decided to try it out while I wait on the sh6n. It's not great at all. A little dark, and loud. It's tight though compared to a vintage output alnico pup.

Re: Shop Floor Custom
Hey sort of off topic question, what's the difference in the wire color that they're wound with? I notice some pups have the plain copper looking wire and some of newer models like the black winter and the pegasus have that reddish wire. you can see it through the little square hole on top.

Did this like just happen? I ordered a shop floor custom tapped SSL-6 three weeks ago from Blue Star Music from ebay, and had no problems getting it.

I think the difference is that magnet type swaps are now custom shop. I think your order is still standard.
I recently got this answer: "This would be a Custom Shop order for a magnet type change."

I tried to go through a big ebay dealer for the SH6 I got and he insisted they wouldn't make unless I went full custom shop. Went through Sweetwater and had it ordered no questions asked for $105. I don't know if Sweetwater just gets more done for less, or what, but I'm starting to think the ebay dealer was full of crap.

Re: Shop Floor Custom
So, as some of you have known, i have been tone quest-ing using various Duncan pickups. There are many that i really enjoy, but others that i like, but could use some "tweaks" so to say. Some of these i know will have to be custom shop orders, but others maybe production floor customs.....?
Full Shred A8 with a row of screws-could be the perfect pickup
Parallel Axis Original w/ A8 mag. This could be something truly magical!
An Sh-9 Silverbird with an A5 and A2 mag Or even an A8 and A2. could be insanely good!
Would these be Custom shop or Floor custom orders?

Re: Shop Floor Custom
From everything I've heard, a magnet swap puts you into full custom shop territory, which is weird, because it's the easiest thing in the world to do. That SH9 will surely be full custom shop. It might not hurt to contact sweetwater and have them get you a quote. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Shop Floor Custom
Magnet swaps are not on the official list of what they will do for a Floor Shop Custom. That doesn't mean specific dealers might not be able to get them, but if they are denied, that is why.
