WTB - Noiseless/Hum Free P90s
What's Hot
Looking for some hum free P90s for my Novo Miris. The stock Fralins sound amazing but are not ideal for touring with different venues each night. Let me know if you have any for sale.
Kinman, Mojotone, Fralin etc
Don't need the snarling mid range thing so fine if they're a little more polite. Ideally looking for the lower output versions rather than anything too hot.
Thanks!

Putting together a high end Partsmaster and currently have everything apart from a neck. Ideally looking for these things, but doesn't have to tick all the boxes, just a reference.
- Rosewood fingerboard - the darker the rosewood the better
- 9.5" radius and above
- Medium size frets and bigger, no vintage frets please
- 1 5/8ths ideal nut width or 1.650"
- Nitro and aged would be ideal
- Aged clay dots (these can be swapped out so not a deal breaker if they're white or the dreaded MOP)
Thanks!

WTB Strat Pickups - ideally Lollar Specials
Looking for some new pickups to try in my '62 style strat. Currently has SSL-2s which I like, but I think I'd like to try something else. Would prefer flat poles but not essential. Let me know what you have!
Bought the Lollar Specials - they're amazing!

I bought them to stick in a Strat I traded and as a result never wired them in. They're non RWRP, 57 stagger. Would you be interested? Cheers

These look pretty cool! Never heard of them but cheap enough to give them a try. Bit confused though - they're under £62 delivered from the company brand new?
Ryan at bootstrap is awesome though - he'll build you something bespoke if you know what you want and or give you pointers on what you're looking for. I certainly won't be upset if you send more business his way instead of mine.
Fralin Vintage Hots Hybrid Stagger (bridge pickup has a steel baseplate)
Kinman Hank Marvin
The Fralin's appeal to me but I might aswell just buy the Lollars as they are similar price. Kinman's are great but very annoying that you have to use their pickup covers as normal ones don't fit.
Possibly, depends on price. Feel free to drop me a message
The description is intriguing: "A friend lent me a sweet sounding original ’62 with the instructions to take it apart and learn – so I did! This ’62 had a wonderful tone, warm, punchy, sweet and bell like. It sounded great clean and overdriven, kind of like the Formvar ‘50s but a little more powerful, with more mids and bass. I spent a long time getting close to this tone."
He must have some REALLY good friends.
