$320 plus shipping from thunder bucker ranch for t bird pups. Only other people that make them are lollar and emg unless you get some gibson ones.
You could also shove some schaller 232 or dimarzio model g under some t bird covers. A guy on here did that.

i got quoted $690 for two with risers and surrounds. also heres an email from them back in 2011 about doing this to an epi bird (this was a project i was gonna do before i got my 76 tbird).
Hi Mike,
For most Epiphones they will drop right in! One thing that can be a small problem is the depth of the rout on Epiphones is often deeper than our pickups need so some wood block may need to be glued in where the pickup adjustment screws go.
Feel free to give us a call or email with any questions!
Best,
Paul Schuster

Still thinking about it? What are you waiting for...there are only like 50 of them in the world.
the price is low and its a little scary. ive had two people look through the amp and think its solid and good to go, its actually the same amp on the hiwatt.org site in the 405 section. i did hear the seller is a little odd, but ill be protected through ebay and paypal so im not too worried. and frankly for the price even if its got issues im making out considering the last one on here sold for 4800.
**** it, im gonna go put my last offer in now haha.
EDIT: AND ****ING PURCHASED. god this was a BAD IDEA! haha
If you can stomach the high price, the Lollars are great. I dropped a set into my Pelham Epi T-bird and they sound awesome. I've played two Gibson T-birds and I like my Epi w/Lollars more. More midrange bite.

I read a lot of good things about the ThunderBucker Ranch pickups. One of the things I researched when I wanted to have a NR TBII style bass Fenderbird built. I still want to make one myself now, but it's way down the to-do list.
Listening to the Phantom of the Paradise soundtrack today, because why not?

this is gonna be my latest gear nightmare. it wont work, trannies will be destroyed, it wont even be a hiwatt. itll be a Liewatt and the dude will tell me he typed it in as that but my american font didnt translate.

Its one of those fvck it dude, let's go bowling, with a magic ball that can level a city, type of days huh. I love those.
The shell will probably be super light. Then, when you open it up, foam snakes will shoot out and a sad trombone will play.
I just picked up an unofficial German pressing of CLUTCH s\t on white vinyl. Now to decide on which beer will compliment it best tonight.
****ing LOL at sad trombone. if i was gonna start a grind band that would be the name.
and ive been eyeballing this thing for a month, made two offers that got rejected, been in touch with the seller and have the money but just have been hesitant. plus im selling a bunch of my star wars toys so that will pay for a decent amount of it.
