I've got 2 Micheal Kelly Hourglass', both quilt tops.
One has a smoke burst finish, and the other has a natural finish.
They both sound and look awsome!
Same pickups, same manufacturing plant!
The only difference between the two is that the burst is 2yrs older than the natural, but newer in the sense that it had not been played, pretty much since it was made.
The natural was always being played, at the flea market where I got it.
Everybody played it and I mean everybody, but no one bought it, till I came around and the wife talked into playing it and it was mine! :beavisnbutthead:
Any way, what I'm getting at is, in spite of the abuse from every body and their kids banging on it, the natural sounds better to me.
It's not as pretty as the burst, but it has some sort of mojo that makes it different! :messedup:

Red Telecasters sound better.

Really? I think Keith likes Musicman Silhouette guitars.

Seriously though...the best sounding Telecaster? A loud one.

Well that page reads good and of course it makes all of us feel better about our budget guitars, its all debatable anyways...BUT what I dont particularly care for is his Attackbucker page

What kind of wire do you use? What kind of magnet? Spacers?

If you are concerned about these details you are missing the point. You can be assured that the pickup is built with high quality parts tailored to achieve a specific sound. There is a lot of hype floating around the internet about certain characteristics of certain pickups and their components. Based on solid research, the majority of it is just that -- hype.

Since when is magnet type considered "hype"?

And then...

What if I don’t like it?

Tell us why you don’t like it and we’ll try to figure something out. What we will guarantee is that this pickup, as part of a quality signal chain, will help you attain that mythical sound

Doesnt inspire warm fuzzies doing business with him...I get the impression if you dont like it(whatever IT may be) that youre only setting yourself up for debate.

Maybe thats just me *shrug*
