The pickups are now back to life, thanks to Clint Searcy from Searcy String Works. He did an incredible job on restoring these special pickups, for which I'd like to thank him once again! See the story and pics here:

The design of those pickups and their restoration is amazing. Max, would you please describe the sound of your guitar now that the pickups are installed?

Max Laine · From: Pori, Finland

They sound surprisingly strong! I didn't know what to expect as they were both almost dead when I got the guitars, but yes they sound good and fat. Maybe even too strong, I get quite a lot of pick noise... lowering the pickups might help but that would require routing of the guitar body, and I don't want to do that... I could also raise the bridge a little, the strings are pretty close to the fretboard and my picks keep hitting it.
