The sister guitar to the Romeo & Juliet I just posted. 4 strings, 25" scale, humbucker with volume control only. Maple neck and fret board, Aging Room box. Nice warm, round tones from this pickup. Perfect intonation, which is what I strive for each time I build an instrument. Tuned to D, G, B, E (top 4 strings of a standard guitar).

Thanks, Gary W. I got these from a company called Guitarfetish.com. They are the Crunch Pat humbuckers Not horribly expensive, something like 25 or 30 bucks each. I had purchased a neck and bridge set, but ended up using these and putting off that other project for a while. They have four wires so you can do coil splitting and other fancy stuff if you wish. What I like especially is these pickups come with rings, though I did have to make the ring out of maple for the Romeo guitar (measure twice, cut once lol).

Yup. This is my fave of two very nice builds.

Looks like 2 nice builds, Dane! What's the story on this pickup - where'd you get it, etc. Thanks!
