Cool stuff. Kent Armstrong pups are cheap and cheerful here too, a good alternative to the higher-end brands for those on a budget.
She told me baby when you race today just take along my love with you, and if ya knew how much I love you baby, nothin' could go wrong with you.

You may have got this wrong, those are not the production armstrong pickups, those are the handmade armstrong pickups made by Kent himself which is the highest brand of pickups you can find out there..Vorbis wrote:Cool stuff.

We are only a very few makers out there who are lucky enough to have Kent build our pickups and many makers would kill for that....
You probably have noticed that I designed the pickup and that there is my ignitial on the top?
Speaking of the price I sell them by pair, 170 euro for 1 pickup... so thats not cheap

middle of the road humbucker???k1w1 wrote:Wow, that is a lot of euros for a middle of the road humbucker, any special features on your proprietary ones other than the case?
you still did not read my previous post and still think that those are production armstrong pickups?

hmm no thats not a lot of money for a handmade pickup made by one of the legends in the business and I am selling them like crazy to professionals who know and say ''wow'' when they hear that these are the handmade armstrong pickups

Those are not covers, be sure to watch my very first postk1w1 wrote:any special features on your proprietary ones other than the case?

Sounds cool, any idea of how much it would cost to send some to New Zealand?

I believe the shipping would be arround 20 euro's, if more I pay the difference, I dont mind lol (not a money maker here with money instead of a brain lol)Jenesis wrote:Sounds cool, any idea of how much it would cost to send some to New Zealand?
There is also 3 to 4 weeks to wait for Kent to build the pickups...

No I read fine, you have a hand wound humbucker which is a shit load of money, which may be better in some way from a production model although when I asked you didn't read my question and tell me what is different? Although probably the average punter couldn't tell, and edit your posts to move the goal posts as people reply. Hey, nice one, 170 euros is around $500, a pair of those will get a pretty decent guitar here so mate they better be good and not just have your ignitial on a humbucker.blackdroid wrote:middle of the road humbucker???k1w1 wrote:Wow, that is a lot of euros for a middle of the road humbucker, any special features on your proprietary ones other than the case?

Steady on, it's "only" $350.k1w1 wrote:170 euros is around $500
Hence I might have to pass, they're not quite expensive enough for my boutique tastes.

I think that most of you know that switzerland (swiss francs) is not sweeden right?
But that those are 2 different countries?
Because 250 swiss francs = 230 USD
