New Pickup Day!
Just received this today. GFS Fatbody tele neck. I've had the bridge version for 6 months or so in my 52 Hot rod tele and have been so pleased with it decided to do the neck. Have a P94 in there now which sounds great distorted but lacks good clean sounds. Best bang for buck pickups.

Cool - let us know how it sounds!
Re: New Pickup Day!
I had some GFS Ric HBs in my old Ric. That's a great company with great products, and the prices are awesome.

As far as I'm concerned, the quality is on par with higher priced companies other than the packaging.myboss57 wrote:I had some GFS Ric HBs in my old Ric. That's a great company with great products, and the prices are awesome.
Re: New Pickup Day!
most definitely it is! I've only had the experience with the one set I ordered a while back, but they were excellent quality. And everything else I've ever read about them has said pretty much the same.

Re: New Pickup Day!
Expectations.....exceeded! 
This is a great sounding pickup!! Very full, has some bark and bite to it, very clear played clean and dirty. I wish I had a recorded clip of the P94 I had in before, and the mini humbucker that was in the guitar originally before that. Difference is night and day! I knew right away when I plugged in and hit the first note while the selector was in the middle position, instantly noticed a huge difference. Love these Fatbody pickups. Broke a string while playing I was having so much fun.

Re: New Pickup Day!
Nice! Glad to hear that worked out. Did you wire it all yourself?

Re: New Pickup Day!
Yes. Was waiting on a new bakelite pickguard which arrived yesterday as I routed the last one to fit the P94.myboss57 wrote:Nice! Glad to hear that worked out. Did you wire it all yourself?

Re: New Pickup Day!
Cool, sucks you had to route the old pickguard, but them's the breaks sometimes.

Re: New Pickup Day!
No big deal. I actually like the new one better. Only cost me $15 plus shipping. It's sent unfinished and I like the unfinished look, kind of a matte finish.myboss57 wrote:Cool, sucks you had to route the old pickguard, but them's the breaks sometimes.
Re: New Pickup Day!
I kinda wish they'd do an MFD for the ASAT's. I love the MFD's with the G&L, but they only two companies that do MFD's (Rio & Nordstrom) aren't cheap and it'd be cool to try something else without blowing a couple hundred bucks (which I don't have).
