Tav Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Just ordered a whole bunch of hardware and a neck from Warmoth.The neck1/4 Sawn Maple22 Frets25.5" Scale Length10-16" Compund Radius Finger Board1-11/16" 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 NutGotoh Kluson TunersBlack Face & Side DotsPickups 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Ascension Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 www.musiciansfriend.comYou 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!!

Doc Ascension Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
