Title: pickup leg
Post by: pack4804 on January 12, 2011, 09:53:02 PM

Hello. new here. i'm about to order a set of nailbombs for my ibanez RG3ex1 and i was not sure what to select for leg length. What is "leg" and do i need long (1/2") or short(1/4")? any of you have experience with nailbombs in a basswood guitar? what are you opinions, and how are they with coil-splitting? thanks.

The products offered by BKP are naturally listed in GBP, use google or your preferred search engine to find the currency conversion to USD (I'd do it for you but I'm too busy playing my BKP's), this changes slightly every business day.  Also there usually is a very small international conversion fee that your (US) bank/credit card may charge. 

However the quality of product BKP offers out weighs all costs incurred, fwiw I'm in the States and know this from experience. 8)

Thanks, just figured that out. I was asking because i made the mistake of thinking it was euros and it came to $230 then i realized i was wrong and found out its $280.  :(. out of my range.

Sorry to hear that.  :(

An idea - maybe you could just order the bridge NB for now, and get the neck later.  :)

Sure hate to see ya miss out on all the string to string seperation under high gain that BPK's achieve through diligence of materials, construction, and scatter wound by a gifted set of hands.

Good luck,

WR

It may be worth contacting a local (eg US) supplier as they may be able to give you a better deal on postage, etc, that could get you within price range.

Thanks guys. I contacted Ludlow guitars in New York which says the sale price is $150 but they had no info so i'm not sure if thats for one(most likely) or the set. I may just get the bridge if i absolutly have too or just save more money. Have to wait and see.

For an archtop superstrat... Long or short legs?
