whats the purpose of a signed pickup if you have to CHOOSE between looking at it and using it?

Its not to PLAY!

That would be silly...

Its to put in the display case next to your $25.000 Frankenstrat replica...  :? :?

(if you were actually meant to make music with it, it would come in a BKP box and be called a VHII)  :D

If this is supposedly the same pickup as is in the Frankenstein guitar then I have to call BS. According to all the hype the pickup in the Frankenstein was so messed up they couldn't get readings off of it but somehow it magically worked. Now Duncan can make replicas and print the specs huh?

Lots of new gear from him, but it's been a new while since I heard a GOOD new song from Eddie. Maybe he should work on that again instead of ridiculously priced gear.

Or at least finish a tour sober.
Current BKPs: Miracle Man, Nailbomb, Juggernaut, VHII
Past BKPS: Holy Diver, Trilogy Suite, Sinner, Black Dog

That's hilarious.  I'm a geeky collector type, I can't deny it - but even I wouldn't buy 4 copies of the same magazine just because they had different covers.

(However, I must admit I was gutted when I saw this month's Guitarist is available with an Esquire on the cover, and I'd bought the Les Paul one... )
