Building Guitar 2: Neck and cheap pickups.
Just ordered a whole bunch of hardware and a neck from Warmoth.
The neck 1/4 Sawn Maple 22 Frets 25.5" Scale Length 10-16" Compund Radius Finger Board 1-11/16" Nut Width <PRS Fat Back Size> 0.8-0.85 Depth @1st & 12th <Fender Strat-ish Size> 6150 Nickle Fret Wire <PRSish Size> Graph Tec Nut Gotoh Kluson Tuners Black Face & Side Dots Pickups Seymour Duncan Tele Hot Lead Tapped and Hot Rythmn. Now this is where it gets interesting. The Warmoth price for both of these pickups together is around $130 or £71! Over here you might be lucky to get one of those pickups for £70. So considering I am paying for postage anyhoo I think this had to be one of the best deals I have seen on pickups! |

i did similar... fuck paying £80 for one DiMarzio Evolution here...
I have a mate in the US, I bought them from a US online store, got them shipped to him and he shipped then to me by DHL! total cost couldn't have been much more than £80 for 2 Evo's (neck and bridge)! Take that rip off merchants!! |

You need a mate in America that you trust mind you, as they don't ship to the UK. Also you need to pay them by bank wire transfer but it went smoothly for me. Total cost was prob around £100, for both pups, inc. 2 shipping fees and wire transfer fee also! If you went for EMG's (the passive HZ H-4s are excellent!!) then you can get them from Stewart Macdonald, who DO ship over here but have US prices!! |

ah, and here's Stewart MacDonald site for those who are less aware of the abilities of Google!...
www.stewmac.com - for EMGs from America, excludes fuss of having a mate over there but remember you may get taxed by customes (i ordered a Shaller FR Trem which was expensive so i think pups may get taxed but god only knows!) I think they do other makes but none i was interested in. DiMarzio's are more of a bugger to get hold of, I just went with www.musiciansfriend.com |
