    Selling a Nordstrand Big Rig and Big Split set for 6 string, (18mm). This is a killer set, its what Carey personally recommends for lots of versatility. It's very "best of both worlds". The Big Rig can be wired to a series/parallel/single coil switch and sounds like a really gorgeous and refined P-type sound. Big, round, warm and clear with glorious midrange texture. The Big Split in the bridge position is super punchy and full and is a great bridge pickup tone for articulate playing. I'm really impressed with this set, individually and combined. I'm just going back to the OEM set in my six.

    This set is $312 new, asking $200 shipped ($190 for local pickup). Run trades by me, no lowballs.
