Nordstrand MM P'ups? Who Uses One?

I'm curious to hear a testimony on these, I'm considering a custom-spaced MM5.2, and also looking at the Villex offerings.

Thanks for any insight/info/comparisons, etc.

I dropped a Nordy MM4.2 in a Fernandes Atlas 4. The difference between it and the stock pup was night and day. That was a while back. I haven't played it in several months and I made the swap several months before that. I think I wired it single coil/series/parallel. I have no experience with Villex, but I would not hesitate to go with Nordy again.

Nordys are top notch pickups. Obviously I am biased as to which Jazz or P pickups I prefer, but no one makes a better MM or soapbar than Nordstrand, IMO.

I replaced the pickup in my olpmm3 with a nordy, and the difference in tone is significant. I love it.

Alright, I think I'm getting a pattern here...
