i think we all understand why your prices were set at the level they were, it was obvious from the photos you posted that these pickups are high quality in construction. i really was impressed by how good they looked, very professional, and your account confirms that they're just as good on the inside as well. there's no argument about whether your price is justified; the only reason the subject of costs has come up in the last few posts is that people are appreciating the value of your design compared to the originals. in addition to giving a few people a better pickup, another important service you'd be providing to the members of these various boards is saving them hundreds of dollars by offering an alternative to the high prices on ebay. that's pretty much all that we've been saying, i hope it wasn't misinterpreted as something bad.

i notice you seem to be a little reluctant to guarantee a pickup to everyone who lines up asking, which is also understandable since you probably won't be able to make enough to go around. i hope you don't feel like we're pressuring you into it any; it is your choice how many of these to make, or whether you make any at all. still, i hope you'll be able to retro fit at least enough pickups for those of us who are readily able to send in our pickups and pay for the service... although considering that we haven't even heard them yet, it's probably too early to be getting zealous anyway...

as a side note, i really can't wait to hear what they sound like, the curiosity is driving me mad.
