i think the doomsayer and the redemption are two of his coolest designs. i've really struggled with the idea of getting in touch with him for a guitar. i've had the pleasure of playing a couple of them and they're amazing. he seems like a cool guy too. my hesitation is that i think his designs may just be too out there for me. i really like classic shapes and have never been much of a pointy guitar guy. he won't copy other guitar shapes and pointy is really his specialty. it almost seems like it would be a bit weird, or the wrong fit to get in touch with him and try and get him to make a more conventional shape. i do think some of his guitars look cool, and i like pointy guitars on other people, it's just hard to see myself playing one.

the Bridge is actually the "deathbucker" higher output pickup and the bridge is their normal humbucker version. I have them wired to the faux-slit coil thing with a push-pull pot. They aren't quite split coiling, the website sort of describes it, but i sort of just skimmed over it.

Any way, What i can say about these pickups:

I personally love them, and I think I've sung their praises previously. I don't know that they would be for everyone. They have a very Flat EQ response. I personally love this, because they don;t color the sound too much. I have bareknuckle nailbombs in another guitar, and personally, I like the Lace pickups even more. The BKPs were dark and I constantly had to try to overcome this with the EQ on my pedals and amp.

With the alumitones, the whole "your guitar sounds like your guitar" thing is present. It made me more pleased with the ability to dial in a sound i liked. They seem to make every EQ on every pedal more responsive because they do so little coloring of their own.

My two cents.
