As stated above, try adjusting your height first. If you're still not happy then yes, a set of retrotrons will get you more jangle. If you wanna spend a little more, the Rose Pickups Day Breaker is very jangly.

IMHO, any set of pickups that cost more than $180 a set. MIC Marshall, Vox, Orange, etc. And most, not all, Gibson products.

budget?

Another excellent guitar with a fugly headstock: A not so excellent guitar with a fugly headstock: One some folks think is ugly that I actually like: beat me to it... although i really did like the guitar and the headstock did grow on me...

No way in hell !!! Right now, I got two men in black suits on the way to Concordia to investigate. no way in hell you say? well, you're more than welcome to call my work and check my stats... 785-243-3300 Alstom Power Air Preheater

I'm wondering how many people in this thread have actually run a CNC machine. I ran them for a living about 10 years ago and I can tell you that they sure as {censored} aren't as precise as everyone in here is assuming them to be. My company ripped out the WWII (1940-ish) conomatic screw machines to replace them with Fuji CNC's. They were slower and less precise and sensors and tooling were constantly breaking and that was running off forgings that were already relatively close to tolerance. The cono screw machines were carving raw product from bar steel. We are talking about aerospace and automotive bearings with tolerances within thousandths of an inch. The only upside for our company was that you could train any tom, dick, or harry to run them and the older screw machines were more of a craft. It took a certain type of mechanical person to be able to run them effectively. Anyways I can hear a difference between a Seymour Duncan/Dimarzio and something like a Novak/Fralin/BG. If you can't hear the difference you are tone deaf or kidding yourself. There is a difference. You can paint a Honda red and tell yourself it's a Ferrari but it isn't. you feel my pain brother... the two CNC machines i operate are constantly {censored}ing up... one is a 661 Whitney with a plasma torch, punch ram, and drill... the other is an ESAB burn table with two plasmas and three gas torches, and i fight them both constantly:mad:

Yea, this is his entertainment. I've gotten about a dozen PMs in the last 1/2 hour from people cluing me into this guy. I guess he does this to lots of people. I think the admins have their eye on him. I feel silly that I bit on his {censored}. i ALWAYS bite... every damn time:facepalm:

Damon don't waste your time with this guy. He's a famous troll from OJ & GJ and I have heard he may not be a member here for much longer due to his posting style. gotcha Bryan... i just get irritated with some of the {censored} that goes on around here... especially when someone is trying to tell someone else their business... nothing pisses me off more than someone telling me how to do MY job or telling me how SIMPLE my job is when they haven't a {censored}ing clue how to do it themselves... you're the pickup maker for {censored}sake:facepalm:... next thing you know, this guy will be telling me that he knows more about the 661 Whitney that i run, the only one in existance with a drill i might add, or our stretch former, also the only on in existance... it's just ridiculous to sit there and tell aguy that does something day in and day out for his bread and butter, and does it successfuly, that he DOESN'T know what he's doing or what he's talking about...

Me too, which is why I don't make pickups for a living. I've made many effects pedals, which are much more complicated than pickups (but still pretty simple). No need for me to do something easy just to prove a point to you, especially when there are so many good inexpensive pickups on the market now. It's not worth the effort. it's not to ,prove a point to me buddy, it's to prove a point to you... if it's so simple, then do it... and i do agree that there are plenty of decent inexpensive pickups out there... but they're still not hand wounds...

There is no way hand manufacturing is going to meet the quality & consistency of well engineered & computer controlled, CNC & threading machines. Your going to start seeing pickups of very high quality mass produced & affordable product all over the place soon. Of course there will be some that still swear by the work of the Jedi but it will be a dying religion in the near future. while i agree that CNC is accurate most of the time, it is in no way perfect...

Can you make a good sandwich? Then why don't you do that for a living? :poke: because i have a REAL job... i WORK for a living... 11.5 hours a day. 6 days a week for the better part of the last 9 years... i can operate pretty much any type of metal fabrication equipment... everything from plate rolls to press breaks to CNC plasma machines, did i also mention that i'm a certified welder too... put up or shut up... if you're so confident that winding pups is such an easy task then why don't you buy the materials, wind a couple of sets, and then send them out to various forumites for review?

Right on Eric..Glad to hear it:thu: Damon thanks for the support. :thu: always bud:thu:... i'm trying my damndest to convince a buddy of mine to get some Pure 90's instead of some Gibby P 94's... i think that once he plays The Swamp Ass he'll see the light:D

By the way, I just installed a set of BG Pure 90's in my PRS yesterday. They sound awesome Bryan! not another hummy sized P90 like it, HNPD... i love my Pure 90's:thu:

No, it's what makes for inconsistent output from pickup to pickup. well then, if you are SO informed on the process of pickup building, and it's SO simple... why aren't you doing it for a living? and, why is it that most boutique and sought after pups are hand wound?
