Very cool 8) ! And unusual too, so a bit of a talking point.

I remember many years ago there was a bloke called Gary Cooper (not the chap from High Noon) who wrote reviews for Sounds and some other magazines. He reviewed a Firebrand 335-S and was so impressed he bought it.

Dirty Fingers are some of my favorite pickups. In my 335 they sound like a hydrogen bomb.

Hang on to them or better yet, sell them to me. :D
