Here it is.
Custom Miracle Man.
The guitar the pup is going in, is nicknamed Black Widow, so you can already imagine how it's going to look like (shame, that it won't be done till later in the year, cos i cant afford that many projects at the moment; i got a neck being done by Jonathan @ Feline geetars also. And i haven't got any other guitars at the moment - NO, i will NOT send it to one of you freaks till then ;) hehehe)

Turnaround time... FAST! Thanks Tim!!!! It looks WICKED!! I was afraid it will be too delicate, since you said you were going to engrave it, but this is  awesome, as it allows me to continue the graphic onto the guitar hehe.

AWESOME!!! that looks deadly!

hey, i'm going to get my Warpig with a similar design, but instead of a set pattern (e.g a spider's web) i will ask for random deep scratch marks!

congrats dude  8)

Awesome...I can't wait to see what it looks like in the guitar!

Hey I just noticed it has two sets of poles...was that part of the customization?

Damn that looks amazing!

Damn I can't stop looking at that thing...I'm jealous! My MM is "plain jane" chrome covered, my MQ's are black covered and my Warpigs and Holy Divers are plain old black uncovered.

Originally I liked the "wolf in sheep's clothing" approach to pickups, but now I'm not so sure. My next set will be something cool like that.

Did Tim charge alot extra for the customizations?

wow, that's really nice. I was never too fussed on the distressed look, but I could see myself looking into something like that!

:drink:

thanks for the kickass comments guys

no extra charges applied for it :D


as much as i like normal covered or uncovered pickups, i REALY like the unusual stuff. BKP offering distressed/destroyed covers is $%&#ing GREAT! and the amount of customisation as far as pole pieces and patterns on the covers go, is even better, so you can shape it somewhat tonally and look vise.

do the cuts affect the tone at all? they're fairly deep...

I have to say they look really good. (argh week words, week words) Impressive. I'm not a spider person - I don't dislike them or fear them, I tend to have to take them out of the room for other people -  just not a fan :)
So, if I wanted to have something like this (see attachment) engraved, would that be possible? (Ok, not the small writing... :) )

I think something like that would need to be laser etched (yes, BKP can get that done for you but at an extra charge) I think your design would be difficult to do by using a grinder on the cover, but then again I suppose it depends on the skill of the artist.

One word. Cool! I didn't think it'd be possible. I'm not too worried about extra cost, just means I have to save up a little longer.

Man those pickups look awesome! Kinda regret going for plain chrome covers now, but I don't think much out of the ordinary would look right in my V.... maybe one day when I get an explorer....... :twisted:

Oh yeah, Neon Genesis Evangelion RULES! If you could get pickups with the NERV logo on them, that would be amazing! :D
