But, is it "Be still, Roy"? (as in a command to a noisy "Roy")
-or-
is it "Best Illroy"? (to distinguish from some lesser "illroys")

At 12:21pm on October 19, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: well if ya need a suggestion you have ta send the pup to me to investigate the possibilities haaaaaaaaaa,just kidding. for a wound pickup i like them closer to the bridge than the neck but you get lots of warmth closer to the neck,its just that to me you can get more growl and sustain closer to the bridge. so if i,m putting one in a cigar box guitar that i would play, i think i would have it just a little bit off center with it closer to the bridge than the neck. just remember---neck warmer---bridge growl sustainer---middle=somewhere in-between.
