I wonder if Tim will ever release a 'normal' version of these pickups.
I asked on facebook if there will perhaps someday be a variation of them for regular sale. His replay was when they are gone, they are gone.
BKPs in use: 10th set / RY set / Holy Diver b, Emerald n / Crawler bridge, Slowhand mid MQ neck/ Manhattan n
On the sidelines: Stockholm b / Suppermassive n, Mule n, AM set, IT mid

You may have a couple of guitars that would suit them but the same could be said for most of what's apparently under your bed!  :D

The guitars under the bed are all bolt-ons.  I wouldn't put 'em in a bolt-on.  :lol:

There are lots of stray pickups too, of course, so the 10th Anniversaries wouldn't be strictly "necessary".....

I could resist no longer - they sound like exactly what I am after at the moment, so a set are ordered!  Didn't want to risk missing them given they are apparently nearly all gone.  Went for brushed nickel, potted.

Interesting. Please do post a pic of the pickups with those covers when they arrive. I thought about going this route but decided for raw nickel instead.

my preference would definitely be for nickel covers, i don't normally like gold covers, but the guitar i intend to put these in is all gold.  I hope they sound great in it, because i don't want to move them!  but i'm sure they will be excellent :)

just have in mind that raw nickel gets heavily aged in like 3 months of moderate use
the raw nickel look stays consistent for much longer

Would that be like "aged to perfection"?

You could call your ebay trades "Sleeper Stock" & and upcharge.. "This item had spent 10 years bathed in the dreams of a guitarist..

Measure your snoring frequency and say it has been run through "1.000.000 human reasonance vibration cycles"
