thanks all.... the pu's are made by Seymour Duncan and come on the Fender Will Ray signature series Jazz-a-caster. They are absolutely incredible. I am looking for a set for my gigging guitar, The slide is what will invented, "stealth slide" It is a ring . Will wheres 2 on the left and another on his right hand. I bought one a while back and love it.. I prefer to fret but i is nice to have a slide on your hand ready to use yet , still allow fretting with that finger.

I love his slide technique... and that little slide is bitchin'

Nice guitars Tom. You do some great work, and if it makes Will Ray kiss the guitar, well that's good enough for me! :-)
