This is quite interesting, particularly the Thunderbird pickups.

Nice, I'm liking those thunderbird pickups in there a lot! I'll have to remember those for a future project

@Mojopickups Would you be able to put one of your Thunderbird pickups into JM form?

Gotta say I absolutely loved those thunderbird pickups, that'll give me another excuse to make something else

I made this about 5 years ago.

That looks killer. How are the pickups mounted and did you have to do any routing?

Never have I seen a person to whom it would be more appropriate to say, Shut Up ‘N Play Yer Guitar. 


Back on topic, I liked all three Both pickup sounds on the DeArmond/Guyatone assembly. Not sure about the other options.

Mike is inherently a good guy...he's just American and as such has a level of enthusiasm that sits awkwardly over here. Hes a gent though.

No routing and mount with woodscrews and foam under the pickup.

He’s also very knowledgable about gear in general, he used to co-own Mike and Mike’s Guitarbar and their blog has a lot of very useful stuff, particularly on offset guitars.

By comparison, I find a lot of guitar channels on YouTube to be pretty flimsy in terms of actual useful info

Along those lines, there's a Waterslide Guitars video with a Thunderbird Pickup in the bridge. The Lollar Jeff Senn looks kind of similar to one as well, I presume a Thunderbird pickup guts is like a slightly bigger Firebird pickup so sounds along those lines.

I appreciate i was harsh and unfair, I just can't sit through his enthusiasm.
