Guitar Fetish pups

Post by rfgordon »

Is the Guitar Fetish guy on this forum? If you are, kudos for your Lil Puncher Tele pups! I put them in my Fender 60th Anniversary mahogany thinline, and they're great. Super clear, and the harmonics just jump off the strings.

Yes, he is a member here.

I just ordered a whole mess of parts from him including a set of the Hot Liverpool Filtertrons. I am anxious to hear these live.

I put a pair of Nashville Retrotrons on an old Epi Riveria hollowbody that I redid. Man, they sound great...

I've got 2 LPs that I am building and I haven't decided if the Retrotrons will go in one of those or in a different guitar of my own design. Maybe they will make it into one of the LPs!!! You never know...

I first purchased a Retotron set for a cheap 80$ Chinese LP copy...sold that.

Ordered a set of Strat Premium Alnico 5 for 60$ that went on a Rosewood and a set of Premium 2 Alnico for a maple strat along with a few tele and strat's pickgards.

I'm a sucker for a cheap set of vintage low ouput/clean pups.

They let the power tubes do what they do best! Thank you very much :roll:

Some folks say that US alnico is better than Asian...

That maybe true...but i ain't no pro ...and only have so many greens to dedicate to this here hobby... :oops: :roll: :oops: :roll: :oops: :roll:
