I could send it from Germany to there ...

Indeed you could.

I'll know when I should get over there hopefully by the end of the week.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks again for your kindness.

As you may know I am quite impressed by the 60's Thunderbird type humbucker made by EY Guitar Music. Some call them Chinabuckers or HongKongbuckers.

The same company also makes a humbucker with large pole pieces for a Thunderbird (very similar to the DeCola pickup)

It might be worth a try? They're only $71.50

I'm sure these are fine but I'm after DeColas...

I have a set of 4 string and 5 string and electronics that are sitting in a box.

If you're within the U.S. feel free to shoot me a PM. I may not respond immediately since I'm away from home and tending to a family emergency but respond I will, for sure.

Thanks

Well, thanks to the kindness of the fellow forum member hollowbody, I am now a happy owner of a set of DeCola pickups... :toast:

I'd like to thank Uwe for his incredibly kind offer as well. Hopefully I'll get to buy you a drink/meal/both the next time I'm in Germany, whenever that ends up being.
