Hi,

I collate the alt.guitar/rec.music* electric and acoustic pickup FAQ
and review list. If you are reading this, either you asked about
pickups, mentioned that you just purchased a new pickup, or otherwise
implied personal knowledge about specific pickups for which a review
would be great. So, you can contribute to this FAQ by providing a
review! I hope that this is helpful and I look forward to hearing
>from you.

Regards,

P.S. Thanks to everyone who replied so far!
