What makes them so great? The huge PROFIT MARGIN Seymour gets from each set sold.

BS :gethim:
 
Don't buy these. Wait for the gold wire ones in a few months. Much better tone.
 
You know there will be a few rig talkers that buy these and when Bare-knuckle copies the idea and charges$2k theirs will be better.
 
C'mon guys, it's a steal... They've discussed the "crystal lattice", it's obviously worth it.

Mega mark up, mega 'cork sniffer marketing' going on here, fact is, we haven't even seen the reviews on these yet. Watch for them "PROS: snob factor, consistent sound, well balanced, CONS: expensive, poor customer service".

Yay, silver wire AND cryogenically frozen, wow.

I think they used very single term in the book to describe a TGP style tone.... wow... just wow.. it doesn't even make sense if you really take it a part, just a lot of fluffy language :doh:
 
I have been waiting for this, i tried to source my own silver pickup wire but couldn't find the small enough gauge. Too expensive though.
 
I'd like to try them-don't want to purchase them though. Wow.
 
Yeah, this is the perfect time to buy pickups made of silver.

I wonder if they have bright harmonics.
 
I'm not gonna lie, I am very curious DO wanna try them, but for that price of admission? yeah right
 
If they were all that and then some, why weren't they thought of and manufactured back in the 70's when silver was cheaper and tonal purists were still around, living and well? This to me smacks of era-specific marketing. Nobody in their right mind would blow $50K on a Dumble, $1200 on a cable, or [this] kinda money on a pup. But there are people out there who want to own the best of the best, and somehow this redeems their otherwise lacklustre playing skills. Too much money on their hands, and no time to play. This product is the shit that gets in those types of peoples' mental space and to them, it's the ultimate in 'perfection', whereas their actual dedication to playing, making time to learn and improve their craft, all come secondary because THAT's actually the hardwork. You can't buy your own talent, no matter what is priced at what, passion is free, and dedication is a bitch - there are NO shortcuts.

I wonder how they sound but you wont find em any of my guitars...250 - 300 is my cap on pups
 
I'd try 'em. Just like anything else they will sound great to some, not so much to others. Great in some guitars, not so much in others.

It's ridiculous to think it's better just because it cost more. But it's just as ridiculous to put something down just because it cost more.
