howdy honeyboy et al ...
the gold foils w/ screws in center are not the ones you (we) want. the magnets in these guys, as explained to me by jason lollar, are actually magnetized rubber. the gold foils w/ screws on edge (ala ry's frankenstrat) have alnico magnets and sound wayyy better. unfortunately i didn't know this and went through THREE of the former and was like "huh?" until a friend hooked me up w/ one of the latter and boom! there it was. all this was a major pita as i had to cut another pick-guard. it's funny ... we're all fascinated by the valco string-thru pup ... but those guys are kinda' a one trick pony ... it's a great trick, loud and brash. for me the proper neck pup (not too close to neck) is soooo much more useful on the bandstand. in other words - imagine having to play an entire show w/ just one of those valco pups - it'd get old quickly me thinks ...
