SOLD
Had planned on keeping these but I'm not crazy about vintage braided hookup wire so I thought I'd see if there's any interest here.

Brushed nickel radiator style covers
A5 magnets (iirc I used bigger mags to give them more of a tron/gretsch vibe/tone)
Vintage braided hookup wire
10k bridge 8.5k neck
Standard 49.2/50mm spaced
Wax potted
Nickel silver baseplates
1018 steel screws

105 shipped

I'm pretty sure I have a couple guitars to choose from they would look/sound great in. And I like the grill look, very Jeep. I'll take em.

Done deal, thanks Tim!

Now I have to decide which guitar gets these (hot-ish) pickups. Of my humbucker guitars, here's the list that could use pickup upgrades. Thing is, none of the other hardware matches, so more updates will be needed I think.

Italia Maranello Speedster

Opinions welcome.

I think the BillyBo makes the most sense but the Eastwood, Liquid, or the Italia would work too.
Nice collection btw 👌 👍

Thanks! I'm leaning that way too. The "car color" guitars just seem to go better with that pickup design.

The pickups arrived today safe and sound with extra goodies, it feels a bit like Christmas. I still have not decided which guitar gets them, but they look great in person. I guess I can lay them on each guitar's top and see how they look in context now.
