Decided against the Lull pickups. I Just can't justify spending nearly 600.00 on pickups, which is what it would be:
240.00 for each pickup
80.00 for ring surrounds (this was a ridiculous upcharge IMO)
12.00 for the shims

So I am thinking about going with Lollar or the Seymour Duncan custom shop Tbird pickups. Leaning towards Lollar though.

I have to ask... did you consider the Thunderbuckers?

I have a set of used Lollars I am looking to sell. Let me know if you think they might work for you.

I did but I haven't been able to hear a whole lot of clips to see what they really sound like. Not that youtube videos are all that great to begin with. The Lulls are the only pickups that Iv'e heard in person. I love them to death but I don't have that kind of scratch for a set of pickups right now.

What are you replacing and what don’t you like about them? And what are you looking for?
