That was rather amazing. I just shared on FB. I seldom do such things.

Hi Becky. I'm one of the chaps that commented on that video, and I have emailed you about it. I assume it has got lost on the way or something.

Is it possible to order a set of these A2 microcoils?

Thanks TeleKato! I was nicely informed that the name of this tune is,"The Story of A Love."

MikeMurray, here's what I posted on the WildeGate, "Bill released, on his 80h birthday, his sophisticated Microcoil Design with adjustable pole pieces which offers the widest range of versatility for the players. We'll release the less expensive MicroCoils made with Alnicos in the near future!"

I'll try to include a YouTube video with Mark from the TDPRI playing the MicroTele set!http://youtu.be/thzVF13XGCg

Love,

Becky

Thanks very much Becky!

I'll definitely be getting a set, didn't expect them to be cheaper than the regular ones so that's a nice surprise too.

Eagerly anticipating these :D

Hello and thanks Becky!

One of the things all always be thankfull to him for is the Gibson L6-S and the Gibson "Super Humbucking" pickups he designed that were used in the early 1970's Les Pauls and L6-S. My favorite all time pickup.

God Bless You both!

Thanks Becky! Bill is sounding good as usual. I could use a set of these pups in my Strat.

Thanks Becky! Nice of you and Bill to share this with us. Wish I could turn that 2 minutes into about two days and come away knowing about 1/10,000th of what Bill knows about guitars and pickups.

Still in love with my Keystones and still exercising them everyday. Thanks again for the thrill.
