    They auction them off on Ebay from the Realiablefender Stratosphere store. Yesterday's auction on just one pup ended at only $154.50 + shipping. Must be pretty good pups huh. Don't know if you'd get the John Mayer tone with them but the idea is right about the same with the way the Texas Specials did. I bet they'd sound pretty good though I outta try them out on JM Strat.

    Well you will all want to knwo that UK company Bare Knucle Pickups will do you Big Dippers straight outta the pack and they are awesome.

    I put them in an 83 tiger stripe Strat Made in Japan and most of the people I know look at my guitar and go wow what a sound. I played a UK Festival and one of the top guitarists there was amazed at the sound coming out of my Strat.

    Go get a set 100 GBP and well worth it.

    They dont make you play like Mayer tho !!!

    Welcome to The Fret, Ken.

    Bare Knuckle makes awesome pickups. I have two of syo's Hell guitars, each packed with BNPs. My ZeroDot strat has Nailbomb humbucker & 2 Irish Tour single coils, while the Bender has Blackdogs. Great pickups that really make these Hell Guitars shine!

    I'm also a new fan of Bare Knuckles pickups. The Boss Tele set has a beautiful, slightly boosted bass frequency that still has a twang when needed, yet rocks when pushed. They never sound thin or brittle, either. Warm uppers with a touch of glassy chime.

    If I replace my Strat's pickups, I'll look closer at their Irish Tour Single Coil Set or Slow Hand Single Coil Set.
