No, I don't get custom made pickups. I picked from ones I heard. I use to use the SH-8 on my old Strat. However, I am now using the Dirty Fingers in my Gibson. I like the Gibson a lot more because I had more to do with the design of the actual guitar. I don't know what you guys are into, but the first humbucker I got into was the Dimarzio X2N. I used it mostly through Dude Ranch. Just trying to help you guys out. Any more questions, just ask. I want to help musicians that actually deserve it get where I am. Adios!
