  1. Interesting, as I don’t call myself a pickup winder! I am a guitar builder! I DO wind pickups too, and I think that a do a decent job at it, but I am not a pickup winder and I don’t try to pose as being one. No hostility or disrespect aimed to you personally. It is your marketing some of us find a bit hard to digest. If you are so proud of your work (good for you, really), why don’t you stand by your products without trying to cash in on Peter Green’s good name? And BTW, welcome to this forum. If you decide to stay on, I know for sure that your contribution will be highly appreciated. Interestingly is that I am a pickup winder who builds guitars... In fact 2 this year so far and carving out another sometime this coming week. As for standing by my products without trying to cash in on PG. I find that statement interesting. My products have been doing fine before I announced these pickups. Cashing in on Peter Green name is not what I feel like I am doing. In fact, I am not to sure that I may keep this as a set I will do as a regular base model. I made these pickups when my customers asked and just like some guitar builder who makes "Tele" or a "Strat" style guitar. You make what the customer wants. I never like the whole mag flip and presto you have PG. I had a correspondance over the coarse of 3-4 months with someone who knew the details of the pickups and he gave it to. His exact words here, Now that you got it. Watch the naysayers tear you apart. His words have rang true since the day I announced them. Hate mail that I am a liar, that I am trying to milk PG's name and my favorate, what makes you think that someone really passed the correct recipe? Oh, I can't forget the porn spam that has send my way as well to fill my email inbox. That was a nice bonus! Well, Thank you for the welcome. I have been a lurker here for a while and a signed on member as of January (I donated here last night as well). I build guitars as well. As for my contribution, I have nothing accept my passion to wind pickups and build guitars. If someone asks, I have no problem helping anyone who winds pickups if they need somehing answered. Feel free to email me since my time is limited during the day with work and at night, family first. So I may not see your question if you just post it on the forum. I sure do thank every one here since I have learned quite a lot in tricks in guitar building thanks to this place. A very wonderful place it is... Thanks!
  2. The silliness comes from the market BS surrounding those and other Peter Green clone pickups. As long as you’re not Peter Green, you will never sound like Peter Green. The same thing with Jimmy Page. And IMHO that sound is far away from the Black Dog sound. Compare the “black dog” sound of the WB pup with the live clip of Black dog. Not even close. Overtones mid, higs, lows, everything differs. And to my knowledge the pickup was supposed to deliver the Peter Green sound, remember… And that is what I call big time marketing BS. “Someone that wishes to be anonymous have passed on the holy grail of pickup knowledge to me and only me” or something like that. WB: and everyone else: Stop trying to fool people out there! Be proud of your stuff and market them for what they are. Nice sounding pickups! Don’t try to piggyback some old famous player that is now too demented to know what happened to his guitar. And as you are so certain that you have the facts on all the factors that give this “magic” sound that must mean that WB has passed that knowledge on to you. Or are you WB yourself? In that case this thread starts to look like spam. I am WB..... And now that I know that you are a winder too. I see why you are trying to disrespect me and my product. You know, I never bad mouth fellow winders even if I think some are full of themselves and sometime just full of..... As for your assumption that I am piggy backing someone and the suggestion that I am trying to fool my customers is just plain ignorant on your part. You know I am proud of my products and the 100% success on my pickups. As for what information Flick has, would be the same information that anybody that has taken the time to ask me. What makes these pickups different than a simple magnet flip? It would be the reverse wind vs. the bridge's standard wind. Although knowing how to wind a good pickup is very important to the equation as is the correct wire per each bobbin for the neck pickup. When wound correctly and with the correct recipe, the pickups don't lose the volume as it does with a simple magnet flip or 4 conductor wiring scheme when out of phase.... God Bless and I am out..... Play nice yall!
  3. It's called "marketing". This same person has been hawking these videos over at the MLP forum. Marketing & hawking? It sounds so dirty trying to introduce my customers to my work. I didn't realize trying to make a living at what I love is so wrong... God Bless!
  4. As the maker of the videos and pickups being questioned and debated here. I do feel that some have had some hostility towards me, my company and pickups. You know, you guy's all work hard every day at your job, let it be pickup making, guitar building or an expert on everything guitars. But what I don't understand and will never understand is how some can disrespect another person work without fully knowing the truth behind the work in question. As far as the assumtions being made here as for how and where I got the recipe. Does it really matter? The bottom line, does the pickups deliver the goods? I have always said the proofs in the pudding. You want to knock me and my product or how I sell them. At least arm yourself with what your knocking...... I bet you you a replacement set that you'll like them! Have a nice day!
  5. Hopefully it will, I should have them back by friday. It's funny how fast someone that owes you something will call you back once you have filed charged against them. Not take away the thunder Mike. But you know that's not the case. Conrats on the GOTM! You earned it!
  6. As the guy who is playing the Marcovis guitar daily now.... She gets my vote! I love this guitar. It plays like a dream and it looks absulutly stunning in person. I call her the "Lusty Pauline". This guitar is amazing. The workmanship that Mike did on her is just awesome. Will B.
