Anyone have a valid 10% off coupon for them? They generally include one with every order. I'm about to place a big order for parts for my Gibson project and could use the discounted monies.

Wasn't sure what forum to place this in, if this is wrong mods please chastise me. I prefer the whip, but I'm open to other options.

Really? I've gotten one in my past 2 orders.

Clearly they hate you. ;)

Ends does pimp for GF, that maybe they’re nicer to him cause he sends business their way.

Ps: If I get one with my order it’s yours big chap (you deserve it after the money you saved me).

you know what... both purchases were in the same month. it might have been a memorial day sale or some holiday thing. I remember they were valid for one month.

i even bought their telecaster neovin pickups as soon as they dropped and nadda.
Funny thing, i ordered the pickups, pots, and caps
The neck pu wasn't internally grounded [fucked up] and i got the wrong value pots.
got the right stuff all sorted out, but i sort of expected one after dealing with that :?

how are those neovins? how do they sound compared to alnico? is the hum-silencing all it's cracked up to be?

They sound like single coils actually, i had a duncan hotrail in the bridge and a "rythm stack" in the neck, and they sounded like humbuckers to me, they didn't catch that tele vibe that i was after. These, however, do
I have a set of Fender Nocaster pickups in a tele and they are pretty close to those, i'll be sure to do a demo of the pickups before too long. They're completely noisless though which is nice
If you're looking for a set of telecaster pickups on a budget you'd be crazy not to give these a shot i think, i love mine
