Comments: I sent Wolfe an MP3 of Mike Bloofield live and asked him to get that sound. Man, he nailed it. I had a master luthier and classical violin player install the pickups. He said they were the best he'd ever heard. I agree. Wolfe Macleod is a master. I predict it won't be long before you won't be able to get a custome pickup wound by Wolfe. Do it now. He is a guitardom national treasure. I'd try to kill anyone who touched those pickups. They are that good and worth whatever you'd have to pay for them.
