krazyderek Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 What guitar did you put them in??? I'm thinking of installing them in an old Aria pro II les paul... I saw some sets from $139.00 on ebay which is pretty cheap I think isn't it?? i almost got a set of those, the prices varry on ebay from 137-150$ but buy them from the guy with the dog in the picture, he has the best shipping which i beleive is free to the US and he wants like 143$ for them, the guy (i beleive) that wants 137$ sometimes, he's asking for 12$ shipping.... here we go, this guy is the man!! (they're 145$ right now, but i bet if you wait you could probably get a couple bucks off on one of his next auctions) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=41427 or you could watch this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=41427 ORRRRr.... but he doesn't take paypal.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=22670 and wes 80$??? i suppose with shipping and everything included that what you mean?

westhemann Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 $145 is a good deal for the whole set. yeah shop around all you want.the average price off of anywhere but ebay is around $80 a piece. ebay is fine you just really don't know where they came from or what you are going to get.i know people who go around to different home depot's,steal tools,and then sell them at jobsites cheap. of course i am not saying that is the case.i am just saying you will pay a little more from a reputeable dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 i have only found them cheaper than $80 brand new in one place...and they now upped the price to $80. hopefully that will change in the future but i wonder how new sets can go so cheap on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 of course some dealers do try to get business by selling them cheap...happens all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 ya most of those go for 67-71$ on ebay... it probably just is to get people looking at you.. i've gotten all my pickups off ebay used.... most are in mint condition and i pay half the retail.. but they call it epray for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy McFeely Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 i installed them in a jackson dk2, the body is ash. i wish i had a les paul to put a set in, i've heard they really sound good with mahogany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
