Retro Gold Foil Pickups - (I could'nt take it anymore!)

Well, I could'nt take it anymore! I wanted some goldfoils for my last build because they just have a killer look and sound all of their own. But one look on Fleabay and it's just depressing to see the bloated prices( and guits that are being ravaged for their pickups.)

Time to design and make my own version. Here's the first sound test. If all goes as planned I should have some available in the very near future.

Thanks for letting me post Mr. Pick.
