I ordered a set of your Wraith pickups on eBay...They are PHENOMENAL. That sound in my head - there it was. Exactly what I've always thought humbuckers should sound like. Full, articulate and dynamic. I strung up the S2, tuned to pitch, and plugged in - it took about 30 seconds before I realized I had found exactly what I was looking for. Kudos to you for crafting an outstanding pickup - I'll be ordering another set soon.
