Here´s an odd one: http://www.martinmusicguitar.com/products/...6&pid=30325

Well.. I´m only posting this because my name was mentioned here on this thread. My name is Fredric Lytholm. And yes, i do exist. And yes I am a guitar maker. In 2001 I passed the apprentice exam in acoustic guitar making at Carl Malmsten school in Stockholm. I was in no way involved in planning / choice of hardware/ pickups. It´s Paul´s build. He did all the work him self. I only showed him how I do things. .Pauls original post was ill formulated. Should´ve been a lot more on why he liked them etc. Paul is a "newbie" and a very eager to get started. The pups are overwound and highgain, and very aggressive in the treble. Not for everyone. All I can say is that they sound ok and performed well when I recorded with the guitar. How many guitars do you have to build before you can call yourself a " luthier"? I don´t know. I´ve tried very hard to stay clear off discussions like that. Because there is as many answers as people calling themselves luthiers. Fredric Lytholm
