Nine days? Nine FUCKING days?!? God dammit...
I would pull a pickup, any pickup, out of any non-basswood guitar you have. Seriously. This thing just crushes every other pickup I have ever owned. Output is not a problem, either, since you can crank it right up close to the strings. I'm going to send him a Custom next and see what he can do with a pickup with deeper bobbins. Who knows? I may get a Lungren destroyer out of it.
