Beautiful guitar!!! :yah More details?
I will testify to that as I love ThroBak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you have one of each of the 2 models from ThroBak ?It's a 2018 Historic '58 from one of the CME runs. Weighs in at just over 8 lbs. Turn it slightly and the flame really pops. The best feeling, looking and sounding of the 6 Historic LP's I've owned. The Throbaks are a MT-102B and an ER-Custom. eace2

What stop tail is this?Great looking pickups! Hey man just a side note, I also top wrap my strings and I used to do it the same way as you. I stole a play out of Joe B's book which works much better. The next time you change your strings, before you throw away the old one's remove the little steel ball off each string, and before you put the string through the stop tail put that ball on the string so it looks like it has 2 balls. This helps a lot and it gets rid of those sharp edges. Should look like the picture below.

Is this the stock aluminum stop tail?
ThroBak pickups are to die for . Here is how I hear them . I love Gibson Custombuckers , now with ThroBak Pickups they take it to the next level up because they have more detail and nuance in the tone and are so much more articulate . I know people think that is just using a lot of descriptive words but they really do take it to the next level up and I think it has a lot to do with how they are wound on Gibson K-Zoo old machines using the same wire and sourcing the magnets from the same supplier here in the US where others are using magnets from overseas ,ditto for the covers which come from close by to the K-Zoo plant . All the little details all add up ,yes they do cost a bit more but I will testify under oath you will be blown away (I sound just like a shill ) but I am going to have another set wound for me (SLE-101 Plus ) ThroBak website does have sound demos of the pickups also .Been dying to try some throbaks, but I just haven't heard a demo from which my ears can get a clear picture of what they sound like. Maybe I'll find someone to let me check out their guitar. Or maybe they're will be some in Dallas/Ft Wroth.
