They suck, sell em to me.

Seriously

Which sort are they? Bill & Becky or BLUSA? If you need help verifying, pm me with a pic or something I can help you out. Since 1964 got the boot I guess I'm the most slightly in the know person about these buggers.

the humbuckers (xl 500 as used by dime and nuno bettencourt) are hell

ish....awesome for shredding and chunky rhythms...also amazing with a clean tone and a phaser...really spooky sound...very goth
