Tony decided to have some fun in the wood shop. We'll be offering these in our online store at some point, but I can't wait to share the first tray. These are 5-string sets. AXY56 in Buckeye Burl and Coco Bolo. The MXY56 is in Bird's-eye Maple.
Usually it's $300 extra per pickup for continuous wood toppers. These are $100 extra, sold only in sets. The price will be $700 in the store, but I'm going to offer on the Alembic Club first at $625 per set. Call dibs if you want 'em!
Can you imagine a black Spoiler with the Coco Bolo pickups? Would also look cool as aftermarket installations as well.
BTW, these are not yet rubbed out - remember I said I couldn't wait?
Very Cool, Mica. I'll be keeping an eye out for a pair of the JZ shaped ones. :o
Mmm, very nice; if only we could trade-in our existing black AXY56's for a bit of credit......btw, anyone need a black set cheap, so I can fund the Buckeye Burl set? ;)
(Unfortunately the Tax man approaches soon in the US) :(

SWEEEEET!
I get lots of compliments on the Coco-Bolo topped PUs the elves in Santa Rosa put on Woody, my Custom Further. I love the look.

Wow. I can't believe I never thought of this! Every other time I've seen veneer-topped pickups it was to
match the top laminate...and to be honest, I felt that look was usually a bit of overkill in the "coffee table" department. But it never occurred to me to get pickup veneers that
contrasted with the top wood! This opens up a whole new can of gorgeous!
