Finally - After quite a few years with my violin finish LS150 I have decided to upgrade it. Nothing against the Gotohs but I wanted to try something different.
I have placed an order for a pair of Catswhisker pickups, hand wound in the UK and VERY reasonably priced. I went for a pair of scatterwound PAF type pickups with a slightly overwound Alnico 2 neck unit (nickel cover) and a higher output Alnico 5 bridge unit (cream color bobbins) modeled after Jimmy Page's Heartbreaker sound.
I guess most of you know where I am going with the mismatched pickups look!
I ordered another pickup (high output) for my new addition too - a Jackson Roswell - and the total bill is still well under the price of 1 pair of bareknuckle pickups!
Tone report to follow once received and installed - I am sure these pickups will be good as I have not read one bad word about these or Allan (the winder), he certainly is very knowledgeable and available!
