zorrow Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Now I just need a black guitar with cream binding to put my Shlabotniks on! the hell standard doesn't meet those specs?It does! But I kind of hesitate. To me that's an iconic guitar, so I might never play it live. On the other hand, the Shlabotniks are meant to be played. I do like their sound.
Bobby Marshall Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I have played a 4 digit at gigs. Best gigs I ever had. Coincidences? Just keep in the case when not playing and don't let case lay flat.
bubs_42 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Just canceled my SD Custom Shop Pickup today, 7 months of waiting is long enough. I guess i'll order a Shlabotnik.
serial Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Just canceled my SD Custom Shop Pickup today, 7 months of waiting is long enough. I guess i'll order a Shlabotnik.7 months for a pickup is asinine. Especially from a company like Duncan.
JGravelin Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 All orders have been fulfilled.I've still got 5 sets that haven't been spoken for, as well as another 5 or 6 sets I can wind and assemble to suit - your choice of bobbin colors. And if you want something 'custom' - just say the word. I'll extend the HFC discount for custom winds too until all my parts are gone.Bubs, get in touch when you've got a moment. 7 months?! Gawd.
veatch Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Now I just need a black guitar with cream binding to put my Shlabotniks on! The HFC: Enabling GAS since 1996.
cmatthes Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Buy a set...you won't regret it! I'm eagerly awaiting the return of a certain 4 Digit that has a set of Josh's beauties installed now.
filtre_ Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Now I just need a black guitar with cream binding to put my Shlabotniks on! Picked up my set of Shlabotniks from the post office - I have a black guitar with cream binding waiting for some real TLC....
Bobby Marshall Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 He is magic. I blinked and they showed up.
bubs_42 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 They are headed my way, but my day has been murder and still going. If there was an opposite to epic this is the day.
JGravelin Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Thank you for your kind words. Truly. It might seem like magic, but it's really just a solid work ethic combined with the business philosophy of "under-promise, over-deliver". We all expect something great when we choose to purchase - myself included! I do the best work I can possibly do, in the most timely and efficient manner that I possibly can, with the hope that I can exceed whatever expectations have been placed upon me and what I offer. Honor the customer! Listen to them and do your best on their behalf.And don't make a guy wait 7 months for something that takes 3 hours to complete. No offense to anyone in the industry or anything, but that's some lame practice. Not cool.Rock on!
peterk Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 My set, with Nickel covers, arrived in Sweden the other day and yesterday I got to play and hear them at rehearsal. They live in my (warning non Shishkov or Hamer content) Gibby R7 and the will stay there for sure! I have tried SD Seth Lovers and Sheptone Blue Skyes in the R7 but I wasn't really impressed. With the Shablotniks it really sounds like you think it would sound when you play it unplugged, like a really good 50's LP with that special crystal clear tone and with lots of punch at the same time! I am more than happy Josh, thank you!
Hamerica Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I played #0008 this past weekend. Easily the best pickups I have ever had played. You owe it to your self to get a set.Hamerica
bubs_42 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I can't say more than whats already said but if you like clear and articulate neck pickup and bridge pickup that is open yet had depth and definition this is the set for you. OMG the middle position is worth the price of admission.
Jakeboy Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 ^^^^^^^^^TRUTH!^^^^^^^^^Neck sounds like a HUGE single coil, the bridge is rock defined, and the middle position is sweet, airy chime. Perfect humbuckers!
cmatthes Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 This is my second favorite set of Shlabotniks - thanks, Josh!
JGravelin Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 This is my second favorite set of Shlabotniks - thanks, Josh! Unbelievable. You actually did it. Cap'n Bignuts, for all time. Full frontals please. Dood!
