ESP Custom Labs Stratocaster Bridge Pickup CL-P-S-2 - New in Box

Bought to create options for a Masterbuilt strat, connected for 10 minutes home testing, then returned to box. 

It accepts conventional Fender sized pickup covers.

Actual DC measurement is 7.21kΩ

These sought after pickups sell for £150 each in Japan. There is a clip of Ramon Goose playing the Alnico 2 version on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot5kFe6S-0o 

From the ESP website:

Magnet Alnico 5
DC resistance value 7.4kΩ
Resonant peak 7.2kHz
Accessories 2 mounting screws, 2 springs

A pick-up with a strong bite that combines delicacy with a strong high mid. From dynamic cutting to solo play, the high expressiveness is attractive.

All ESP Custom Lab pickups have the following special earthing. The coil and bobbin are wrapped in copper foil to catch external noise. The noise signal is output by the OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable separately from the hot and cold pickup coils, and is dropped to the ground more quickly and reliably without interfering with the original signal of the pickup.

Early weekend bump

TubeGuy

Ron Ellis pickups are selling tonight on eBay, it would be great to nudge them on their way, or maybe pick them up for way less than the £1000 they have been known to ask on Reverb.

Currently in the £200s on eBay.

Did someone get a bargain?

£550, a fair bit lower than the Reverb ads, not exactly a bargain though
