HA! The rambo knife is all about the art of making a good NGD or NPD ceremony...

The pickups are going into the guitar I built for the new guitar competition which is ending september 20th, they have been specifically custom built according to my sound preferences, so they are not conventional models but trully custom built...

They look pretty nice, but I thought you made your own pickups ?

I want the knife more I think, what kind is it?

I guess this thread was the genesis of that idea. Upon further review I see it's a collaboration. They do have your user name on though, I thought you may remember them.

you are mixing things up.... you are talking about two different brands here:


- Kent Armstrong pickups, Kent who builds my Hufschmid pickups since 1998..... (the ones with my "H" logo)


- SP Custom pickups, Jérémy Begouin from France which whom I recently collaborated with (2011) on the Helldunkel project... http://www.spcustompickups.com/an/index.html


.....takes you to my website in which there is all the information......

All my creations are fitted with passive expertly cast custom scatterwound Kent Armstrong pickups for which I designed the external appearance.
Kent started building pickups in the early 1970´s. With fourty years of experience, he currently has a virtual monopoly on the jazz guitar market and produces pickups for nearly every builder of jazz guitars worldwide.

scrool down......

The "Helldunkel" pickups are a result of a very close collaboration between Patrick Hufschmid and SP Custom Pickups - France!
Designed for the high gain rock and metal player looking for extremely tight, organic and defined tone with huge sustain!
For more information about these amazing pickups (a calibrated set is also available), please contact info@spcustompickups.com

The pickups in this topic as explained are handmade Armstrong pickups (handmade by Kent, not his production pickups), they are not Hufschmid pickups and they are not SP Custom pickups.... Its a regular NPD topic...

BTW if you are interested, Those chrome pickups can also be found on Aaron's website (Kent Armstrong's son), he uses the same covers...
