I liked this pickup enough that I bought it. I was the second guy in line to try it. I stuck it in my 50's reissue esquire and was very pleased. I will write my review tomorrow but I wanted Rob (who I have no relationship with other than this pick up) to get a little bump. I also wanted others in on this to know where it was at. I just realized this p/u was made on 6/12, my birthday.

Rob said he was going to send another pick up out to dog fart and start the circulation again.
@Dr Bill, the Cavalier Lion is listed as $60 plus shipping on his site (frettech.com)

gosh, thanks for the explanation of the users of this site, I don't spend enough time here to be able to have the grasp you do... you have a right to your thoughts and I to mine. I think once in awhile people could kind of try a little harder... I know, I know you are right (because you think so) that we should just accept it and clearly you understand the users here better than I ever could... Rob DiStefano is a treasure and has earned the respect of the folks who pay attention.

sean001 - thanx for checking out the lion.
fezz - no, YOU da man! you guyz have GOT to check out fezz winds!!! seriously! colt w. knight - you have a pm and yer in the test lineup if you wish dr. bill - as sean said, i sell cav lions for $60 +shipping, but the pass around test lion can be purchased for a flat $50 after it arrives at ya flyingbanana - unlike a tele/esquire bridge pup, it would be difficult to create a pass around test cav tiger (strat) that would work well for any strat position ... maybe i'll do a bridge/neck combo. getbent - huh?

I've been standing at my mailbox since I got the PM, but I had to come in. It was cold and I forgot my sox
 I've been following Rob since I first started hanging out here. Rob always comes across as someone who knows what he's talking about without getting loud or pushy. I have been curious about his winds, of course I jumped at a risk free chance to try one out. Marketing genius that shows a level of trust you don't find everyday. Yeah I got in the line, believe me I've stood in line for worse BTW I don't think loud and pushy people is a big problem round here

Definitely a nice looking pickup! If I were not so far behind I'd snatch it up. I've been watching Rob for a while and when he speaks people should listen!

Just thought id chime in....
The Lion was a really nice pickup! The only reason I didn't buy it was because I didn't really need another tele pup, but thought it would be fun to try out. It had AMAZING low end but still remained clear and detailed in the highs. What I mean is it wasn't muddy. It sounded really good with OD too. It actually sounded huge compared to my Fralin BS.... For 60 dollars I would buy this pickup ALL DAY LONG! Rob you gots the skills doggie! Im very anxious to hear others views on this pup. I think it would be a perfect country/rock pup.
