Wow! That's a cool looking set.

That would look so wicked in one of these:

ok, i wired it up.  put the strings on, just to check the clearance. and it's allright. the pickup is as high as i would possibly go.


now, the sound.. it is EXACTLY how i wanted it to sound. no joke. another purchase worth its money :D

LOVE IT!
one other thing to note though.. it's fascinating how BK pickups do REAL good at playing rythms on the neck pickup. they dont lose the definition, even though the bass is much more pronounced (even more on mine, since i got allen head poles.)

Sorry to have to say this but that looks really bad, has that been scratched on or something?! You would think if you where paying over a £100 you would get a neater finish then that! I'm sure it sounds great, but man it looks awful!

I like the cover on the MM but not on the VHII. A more detailed pattern or the same in a thinner coating would look better IMO.

HERETIC!!!!
i wanted it that way. i could have gotten it laser etched and have crisp lines and perfect finish, but i didnt want to. i speced it, black battle worn graphic, cos IMO, it looks better

Good god, he's right!

Have you noticed that BOTH of your pickups are scratched?

Man BKP are really going down hill with their quality control.... :wink:

no..... i know but i think  for £100 you would get a more professional design and not pay extra on top! Is it wrong to say something negative about  BKP?!

I think the point is, he could've got a "better" looking design, but he chose this instead because he prefers the look..

fwiw, I dont like it either though.

To be fair, I can see where the haters are coming from, however I think that would be a killer look in person, or from a distance, and based on my nickname, designs like that are always cool.

it's horses for courses...

i wanted it that way, i like it that way, it's staying that way.
like i said, i could have gotten it laser etched, but i prefer the damage.

and yes, i know i'm nuts for paying extra for a damaged pickup cover ;) but i got 3 that way (the trilogy cant be had in damaged, otherwise i'd have one too hehehe)

If a custom guitar builder was asked to make a guitar in the shape of a toilet seat - He'd charge extra.

Would you comment in outrage about that?

As do I...

If someone made a custom order form and put Toilet Transformation as a £100 option - I would pay just for since it would be making it more custom :x
