It's hard choosing pickups, isn't it?
In the end I managed to narrow it down to... oh, about five different Bare Knuckles, and in truth they'd probably all have done the job. From what I've heard, the pickups are all great sounding and quite versatile.
Anyway, Neil at Morgan Custom guitars had a VHII going spare. A customer had ordered a guitar with a VHII and changed their mind. So I've been able to buy a VHII at a reduced price, thus solving my dilemma. Not that I would choose pickups based on price, but I needed something to give me a nudge, and here it is.
Very excited! :twisted:
