Where to buy Barden pickups

Sorry. I am sure this has been up several times.

I bought direct from Joe when I needed my lefty pickups, but where do you go for the best price on stock pickups. I understand that Joe can't undercut his distributors

Guitar Heaven out of Nashville. Thats where I got mine.

Guitar Heaven no longer sells the Bardens. They recently had a close-out on them. I'd suggest you try to go through Joe as they seem to be harder and harder to find through dealers.

I was just in the store Saturday - and they're still stocking them. I did notice on their web-site a "Joe Barden Closeout" notice, but I think that's only on the left handed models or something...just something to get your attention.

I've said this before - Guitar Heaven has more pickups in stock than ANYONE. They even purposely order various custom pickups from several manfactures, just to have them available to customers, without having to wait.

I got my Tele Bardens at Freds a while ago - good service and they even threw in a free bag of blue tortilla corn chips (really). I recently got a larger set for my Gibson at Guitar Heaven. As far as I know, they still have them although they're closing them out.
