Chisonic Drop-ins for 55-01

[Eilif]

I haven't been around for a while, so forgive me if this has already been covered. There was word last year that Hanson was going to make 5 string chi-sonics in plain plastic soapbar covers that would be a direct drop in for the 55-01 (Bart MK pickup size).

Any word on if this has happened yet? I still haven't figured out how to pay for it, but I'm itching to turn my 55-01 into a passive Chi-Machine!

They are indeed working feverishly to get drop ins ready for the 55-01, but they are not yet ready as I believe they are still fine tuning the casings. The 44-01's are available.

Thanks,
I had originally planned to have it re-routed for a set of the chrome chi's, but as that would be about 3 times the price (I was quoted around 600 bucks) I think I'll wait a bit longer.

So it's been another year.
Any word on whether chisonics are available in the MK shape for 5 strings?
My 55-01 is looking forlorn for lack of play....
