and, as zimbloth already pointed out, they're NOT $200 each!


Awesome man, what set are you getting?

And I don't think they'll accept that they're not $200 eh?

Zimbloth has already said it, but to reiterate, having a different magnet to stock doesn't change the price. Remember, Tim builds EVERY pickup to order, so it's no extra work for him to use a different magnet.

I'm trying really hard not to sound like a Bareknuckle fanboy here, so I'll leave it to the guys who are soon to discover the difference to explain the experience.

I have no problem sounding like a BKP fanboy, probably since I am just a recent convert

BKP > all (including Lundgren)

Zimbloth's price + shipping is exactly what they would be from Tim + shipping (a good deal). Roughly $150. Worth every penny.
