I've complete my third small batch of pickups and could use some feedback(yeah!)
Which pickup looks most appealing to you? The top is latest pickup that I spent additional time cleaning the pickup to new, bare steel and then blueing the finish with heat. The bottom pickup was treated a little less and the tabs are painted black.
Waddya think?
Thanks,

Wade

Thanks Digly - 

Does anyone know prices on getting pickup sized pieces chromed?

How can I possibly afford 4 of them?  (One guitar).

Awesome craftsmanship.

I know what you mean my friend. I want to get a stripped harmony rocket or speed demon off of eBay and stick a few on them.

I was thinking of this.

Or maybe 2 on this.

But I'm already over budget when I put a Pignose inside the box.  And the neck. . . well. . .that's going to tear chit up.

Nice ones!

Dude.... those pickups are TERRIBLE!  Just kidding....  They're FREAKING AWESOME!  BOTH are great.  Can't see much difference in the photo tho.  Both are worship-able...  GREAT work!  ...make mine look very simple....

Maybe I can make this easier! Which one one would you choose of you stopped by on Halloween?

I love them both too. 

Bare metal! Then I can let it sit out on the back porch railing for a few weeks and let the elements have their way with it. Metal and rust and patina...(insert Tim Taylor grunting here).

Wade, Really like those covers you used. What did they start their life as? Some of the holes look like they were done with a endmill or possible a stone - is it my eyes, or did these start out with another use in mind? Some type of cover or plate? 

Like them both. Copper or brass or nickle would look good too.If you want more information visit this site Swisscubancigars

To be more constructive I like the bottom one best, but they both rock.
All the best from Bill. :D
