They just put out a batch of humbuckers on Reverb and they were $185 each. It all is pretty reasonable pricing, in line with some other popular boutique pickup makers. Kevin is pretty hard to get a hold of, just always very busy, which is typically a good problem to have but can be frustrating for us. I tried to get a hold of them about a pickguard on order since February 2015. It would be more upsetting if he wasn't such a good guy. Would love to order another guitar with a 30" scale but the wait would probably kill me.
After two weeks of not shipping the EGC I paid for on Reverb I received a refund. The douche bag relisted it for $200 more now. Fuck him.
Moving on, I just paid for a Bastin neck and have a build completely thought out. Going to buy a broadcaster body made locally from reclaimed wood taken from homes built in the 20s and 30s. Bigsby with Callaham upgrades. Mastery bridge. Novak Wide Range humbucker in the neck. Maybe a Backbone, and route some strings through the body and some through the Bigsby. The only thing I haven't chosen is a bridge pickup. I am waiting to hold the Bastin neck before I buy anything though.
