The website says they only do nickel or black nickel. But those look more chrome (which is what I’m after) than nickel. What do they look like in person?

It was a rush order so limited the variety and the available packaging. Also traveled in checked luggage. Not sure vacuum sealing won’t crush some of the fragile items like bird’s nest baklava. Their commercial packaging (tins) aren’t in stock yet.

Didn’t know SD made Tbird pups. Can’t wait to hear your review.
I pulled the plastic back and set them next to my VP and they look the same to me. My VP has bright nickel. The tuners look more dull.
V has them installed. Waiting for the real review compared to original 64s?
They have made them for a number of years, how many I don't know. I don't recall the exact wording, but Scott said they were nice and better than a number of others. Something like that. I'm betting they sound pretty doggone good.
Tools are for professionals.Not toys, tools of the trade.
Claim to be copies of the original Gibson’s.

Like Leon?
I found it hard to believe that the nickel Babciz bridge I got was nickel and not chrome. It often seems to be very close. I was hoping for more yellowish.
is that like chinese bird’s nest soup?…
Dunno how I’d feel buying the “Degenerate” model…..guess he’s banking on the quirkiness of Bird fans….
No, no bird spit in these.
Yeast starter for next batch of beer. We’ll see if it is ready for the GTG. Normally, 4 weeks is my minimum production time but GTG is 3.5 weeks. I think it will work if I put 6 bottles worth in a pressurized growler. That 6 is really just for sampling. The 2 cases of 805 are for drinking.
Right. Per V, they were involved in making the Lull pickups when Novak had difficulty meeting demand.
Just because I’m up a bit too late on a court night.
Somewhat relevant, somewhat not.

- Endorsing Artist Mike Lull T Bass pickups, The Bass Shop, Seattle WA.
Seymour Duncan has produced for Lull in the past when demand was too much for their original supplier, TV Jones, Curtis Novak was not involved.
FWIW I like the Sd's I put in my Orville a lot but I need to try a fresh set of Smith's and maybe some SIT's on it to hear the pickups at their best. ATM the Orville isn't going to make the trip to the GTG.
i would never describe my CP sound as “thin”.
