Hey guys, I have been producing chrome replica T-Bird 60's pickup covers for over three years now, and I REALLY DO appreciate those of you who have purchased them. And I'm proud to say that every one of you have been satisfied with my pickups or chrome covers you have sent to Duncans Custom Shop to get the replica innards done to 60's specs. Hats off to Mike Lull Guitars, for finding the original dies to make the original 60's style stamped pickup covers. Many of us die hards here, many from the old Dude Pit, have researched making dies (at 35K to get it done!!!) and have tried EVERYTHING to get the original 60's style covers made to replicate our beloved 60's T-Bird pickups.
I found a gifted machinist to replicate them, but the cost was very high, and rightly so. Machining a part that was originally stamped is a work of art. But still, at minimal profit, I was able to offer them to 'my bros' at the forum. The price was high but nobody EVER bitched. I'm very proud that I was able to try to fill that gap between an original and a quality repro when nobody had anything to offer. THANK YOU to you all that purchased my covers and pickups. In the end, I probably broke even, but that's OK. Mike Lull has found the "holy grail' in finding the original dies for our beloved 60's T-Bird pickups. It's what we all dreamed of a long time ago, to find those dies, or find somebody who could make them for not a kings ransom! I still make my 60's exact repro bridges. And, Scott Dasson still makes his 'intonation without modification' T-bird bridges for those of you who have an original 60's 'Bird that doesn't intonate, or want an extended travel two point bridge. THANKS to you all for your support!!!!
