Ya, I'm gonna try and get a qoute from the Thruth. Seems he has a much better wait time than Callaham, not that it's hard to beat. :P And a great price. The only thing is he is in Croatia. I kind of worry about the climate change a bit. Especially to CA.
Those are the same two I had narrowed it down too. I think I'd go with the SRV winds though. I like a thicker tone. It's tough without actually hearing them in something, but Fralin's are always good.
It's between these two, the 54's don't interest me. Seems they'd be too bright.
Callaham Special Wind. This is an ALNICO V magnetic, 42 formvar wire done to our specs. We have measured from original Pre-CBS pickups. They have a full clear bass response, a thick strong treble and a very wide frequency response and will challenge the best original vintage pickups you can find.
Callaham H/SRV Specials. This again is a special wind for those who want the Hendrix, SRV, EJ sound. What makes this set different from our "Special Wind" is better note separaton and clarity on the wound strings under high volume overdrive. The plain strings are very full and the overall sustain is excellent
I looked on his website and it says all is in stock unless stated otherwise. I think I might pickup his s-vintage hardware set, and some of his Fralins.
