Frick those Gibson pickups are expensive . Toooooo much money . Have you thought about any of DiMarzio ' s vintage styled pickups ? I often find that their stuff is cheaper than Duncans here in Canada , and I have yet to have a bad experience with their pickups . Previously worked as a tech at LM and another music store that has since been acquired by LM . Not trying to push any particular company just trying to help a fellow Canadian find good pickups at a reasonable price because it ' s always a struggle ! Have you checked Cosmo Music ? I think they would have free shipping on their pickups and sometimes they ' re cheaper than LM . <| sep |> you can wear a turban all you want . But the second youre off base , you need to wear your helmet . Its not because we want to infringe on your rights , its because we dont want to have a bullet go through your head that couldve been stopped by a kevlar helmet get as mad as you want , but no one wants their brother in arms dying , and no one wants to tell a mother that their son died . Especially when it could have easily been prevented by doing what the rest of the military does .
