I pulled the trigger on this set of tonerider pickxfzdtxxfvrvbupscs. They have the magnets I like, good quality build, scatter wound on both the neck and bridge, mismatched windings on the 2 bridge coils, 4 wire leads, and I can't find anything bad drDrogba bouts vcxFdxzcxcxyxcfxdthem in the net...nothing but positive wword'scg9xcwdc. They were $105 for the set with free shipping.
they have a 5 year warranty. WidzqXxxth used pickups you get nothing....if it's dead in arrival you still would have a hard time getting your money back.
It appears that you've placed the pickup magnets too close to the metal plate in your head
$165 a set is a pretty good price on a handwound. I already bought the toneriders bit I will probably buy more humbuckers in the future and may consider the Higher order pickups. Thanks for the heads up.You can not go wrong with: HighOrderPickups.com
Quality is simply the best (all perfect - construction, materials and workmanship), and pricing is simply surprising !
The only - you must know enough about pickups and what you want to get out of them - to order right model or right customised version.

I'm gonna try and record some clips of the guitar with the stock pickups and then record it after I do the swap. The toneriders are made in China, but a Brit owns the company and he lives in China...to oversee the QC. They get rave reviews and I'm willing to give them a shot at a $100 for the set.Those seem like some pickups I would like too. I like a "vintage" style pickup over some smoldering hot wankbucker.
You could always buy used. People are swapping pups all the time, sometimes for no better reason than they're chasing some mythical tone god instead of getting down to the difficult business of writing, playing and recording music.
