I was thlinking the Murphy Lab joke throughout the whole article before he used it.

Doesn't Duncan have the original winding machines? Wasn't Seth Lover the consultant for the SD Seth Lover that I also don't find quite as good as a '57 classic? I guess Throbak has finally met their match for stupid pricing geared towards fools easily parted with their cash.

These will sound great in a guitar hung on a wall and never played

They sound amazing sitting in the corner of my law office next to my PRS ten top.

This pic makes me sick. This musical jewelry box probably has better tone than the pickups.

Doesn't even have a leather handle or combo lock on that.

Those TGP dudes now have a justification to buy them. "Honey, they come with a cute case you can use as purse!"

What's the markup for a gold set? $1499?

She can keep their nuts in them which means it will be empty.

 

[VonBonfire]

Cue TGP thread ranting about haters and how these are the most AMAZING pickup they've heard followed by a marketplace post two weeks later.

 

[Mr. Chainsaw]

Cool presentation, but I see most of these being kept sealed rather than actually used. The listing on the website also says "Series 1", so maybe we'll see other pickups or additional runs.

 

[MusicIsLife]

Yeah, I don't get that these are targeted at people because of how they think they'll sound. Maybe a few cork-sniffers who think there's magic in something that's more period correct. It seems like these are meant for people who want to spend money on bragging rights, or perhaps want to sit on them and resell them later. Maybe a few actual bona-fide collectors. People who are looking for best-of-class PAF tone have lots of other options, depending on what their idea of "best" is.

 

[Ventura]

But will they do plexi ?

Fixed it.

I'm not gonna abbreviate it, this deserves typing it out:

OH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

This is so stupid that it sounds like a Henry Juszkiewicz idea. That's pretty stupid.

If they made them for 7 strings I’d be in

 

[Exo-metal]

Maybe this is what JS needs for the gig too? That thread is a total TGP...oh Joe is only shopping. Omg we need a safe space blah blah on and on in need of this pickup purse and a bitch slap...does my butt look big in these tan pants. Hey look at my new PRS fellas.

Winner!
