Now that makes me feel old! :lol:

I remember tracking down the first two albums on import, I think I had to get them mail-order from the US - not so easy in those pre-internet days!!

well have quite a range I like anything from nickel creek(bluesgrass) to the birds, to sabbath, free, aerosmith, blackfoot, to D/straits, pink floyd, spingsteen, R/stones, to Queens of the stone age, system of a down......missed loads out but kinda saying my tastes have grown and diversafied as I got older....but have a few guitars to cope with this..so Sg is to be 60's - 70's sounding...lets be honest I love AC DC is why I bought it(the guitar)

Thanks.I know it's kind of tricky to describe the music we play.But there are so many Metal-freacks on this board

:!: For AC/DC,RiffRaff was the obvious choice.Well done!Is it matching well with the Crawler/neck?

I don't think we mark the boxes with what Alnico is in the pickup. Where are you reading this on the box exactly ?

But i can assure you it will be an Alnico 5 in there :)

It's in the write-up on the back/bottom of the box - my Riff Raff has the same.

I think the labels were printed a very long time ago, when the early Riff Raff spec did indeed include an Alnico II magnet.

Yeah was write up thought the paper inside would be right..matches well with crawler

We will inform Tim of this and we will most likely correct it on our next order. The Riff Raff will have A5 in it for sure though :)
