Pickup Handling
« on: March 16, 2007, 10:35:02 AM »
Any of you guys know whether Tim actually handles each individual pickup, cause i wanted to order some Rebel Yells or possibly Pigs (maybe even both) and it would be so cool to think he's handled them, there might even be some skin cells on them!! ?But seriously does he touch them?

That has to be the single oddest question I've ever seen.   :mrgreen:

Personally I dunno, but I'm sure someone will tell you soon.  Welcome to the boards dude  :drink:

Yeah but don't you think it would be so coll if he'd like handles the very pick-ups in your guitar, i mean that's like WOW! I only said about the skin cells cause then you could make a clone of him using the cells.

This has to be the most bizarre thread ever!!!

Tim doesn't handle all the pickups, no.  He's been away with Iced Earth for a couple of weeks and you're not telling me that production stopped while they wait for his magic hand sweat???

If you request it, he may give them a little kiss before they go in the box to be sent  :lol:

Actually, Tim's back in the UK now, winding pickups like a demon!

Oh shite yeah. iced earth! he's the new tech for them isnt he! That should be kool for him. I actually got the privelage of going to the last music live, i saw the bkp stand, i couldnt get over how small Tim actually was, at least he'll fit into the tour bus easily being pint sized an all!
