Got my MQ's today!
« on: November 10, 2005, 06:02:11 PM »
The mailman delivered my MQ's today. I put them in my guitar right away. They look great and even better, they sound great. I still have to fine tune them a bit but they sound exactly how I wanted them to sound. They have the growl and the twang and a great nazal 'snarl' on the higher strings. You hardly notice they are single coils, very warm and fat. I played along to some rockabilly songs and the sound is spot on.

Steve, Tim, thanks!  PDT_003

More pics to come, it's too dark to take a half decent pic of the guitar.

I'll see if I can get some clips together this month.

I have always liked p90s!  What did you put them in?  Those covers look great too.

I've put them in my Dean Psychobilly (hollow body). I'll post a pic tomorrow. The covers are raw nickel Manhattan covers.

yeah, the design of those pickup covers looks quite 'retro' and fits the vibe of the guitar very nicely, Ratrod!
