And ludicrously priced originals for that matter...

The idea that YouTube was more than the home of the infomercial.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
And top-mounted amp controls.
(I hope!!)

In the future, the Morlocks will overthrow humanity and with their huge fat hands they will not be able to play any other guitars so Cleartone Conversions will be traded at ridiculously high costs, maybe 50-100 human/Eloi slaves (money will cease to exist) per instrument depending on the quality of the conversion.

Trends come and go and I dare say somewhere today is a 16 year old kid, playing the guitar in his bedroom, that in 4-6 years time will be the next 'must have' and the flock will adjust accordingly, when he becomes a star
As guitars don't have any sell by date issues, with no new 'supa dupa' updated versions in the pipeline (iphone style) then I can't see the need for the big guitar companies to continually 'churn out' the same level of output as we have seen in the last 10-20-30 years - There is no shortage of quality, used, clean guitars on the market place today - Not an issue for today's buyers or indeed the buyers in 10/20 years time - But an issue for the manufacturing business
What will be the WTF in 20 years time then who knows - Compared to say 20/30 years ago there is more of a varied selection of brands, models, trends than probably ever before, be it from the big companies or the boutique builders - 1959 etc might well be one of the glory years for some - But the options available for today's buyer has never been so varied, so much so that it is hard to clearly define what is popular and not popular
Let me tell you the Dry-Z is actually nothing like a PAF in the so called 'important' details inside, even if it produces a PAF like tone. It shows that good design can approximate a sound very well even if 'traditional' materials aren't used. I may well go on to make these a product line.

I've found a bit of info about the specs for Dry Z pickups, rough cast A3's, maple/mahogany spacers and a few other things but I can't find any info about the wire. I presume it's AWG42 like PAF's?
Back to Japanese pickups, even if some of the guitars weren't of the best quality there were some truly exceptional MIJ pickups eg Teisco, Guyatone and the Dry Z's.
Is this the royal 'we' ? Is that you Wills or Andy?
