Comments: Here is what I have to say: THESE PICKUPS ARE NOT MADE FROM LIPSTICK TUBES. ok, fine...they RESEMBLE one kind of lipstick tube from years ago. Actually, this PU more closely resembles a COW-MAGNET.
I repeat....NOT MADE FROM LIPSTICK TUBES. GET REAL.

Comments: When I came up with this, I was just messin around with some extra cash and came up with a..well......unique sound. Very good sound with reverb (can produce a Dick Dale type sound with my Vibrolux.)
