keenemachineNo clue why I put off checking these out for as long as I have since every guitarist I respect has been telling me they're the dogs balls. Very excited to see what the hype is about. Thanks to the kind folks at @fishmanmusic and @kensusi of Unearth glory for getting me set up. From everything I've heard, these pickups will probably end up in most of my guitars. Honorable mention to guitarist extraordinaire @benellerguitars for making the connection and giving me the push I needed to follow through on checking these bad boys out.
