candledinner Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I ordered a set of pickups sometime ago for a Standard with incorrect EMG's. Josh came up trumps and wound me a bespoke set which suit the guitar perfectly, they were exactly what was needed. Josh is full of knowledge and easy to deal with. I can vouch for his work and his pickups... I definitely recommend him... 🎸👍

cmatthes Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Serious improvement in this guitar, which was already pretty damned great.
JGravelin Posted January 14, 2022 Author Posted January 14, 2022 I've had such a massive technology fail over here, ruined a laptop trying to upgrade my ram and bent connection pins, a fairly recent machine I bought: "out" for a hot minute while I tried to fix and ended up buying a new laptop because I really didn't have any choice. On top of that, as some of you know, my right eardrum got completely blown out on a gig in a pretty severe manner - and then, as icing on the cake: Corona virus. What a fantastic start to 2022. 😠 If anyone has not gotten their pickups yet, you will soon. I've had a friend doing Post Office runs and honestly, because I've felt like such a bag of dicks -- I've dropped the ball with shipping info and tracking numbers. Combined, it's all just been too much for me. I've got about 86 messages w/ business to catch up with, a handful from HFC - please allow me a hot minute and bear with me.
JGale Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Fuck it! Stop winding. Stop worrying. Take off time to heal! You hear me! I'ma come up there and slap you with a fish.

cmatthes Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Seriously Josh. You DO NOT want Mr. Gale slapping you with a fish.
Marvelicious Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 No worries at all man. I would be total shit as a business owner: if I had that kind of a run I'd probably just say, "Fuck it, I'mma circle back around in February." Take care of yourself and do what you need to do. No one here is going to go full Karen and ask to speak to your manager.

My eardrum: once i'm over this 'rona, i can have a doctor check and see how I'm healing. Computer fuckery: I bought a new cheapie laptop and under my circumstances I'm thankful that I could afford to do that. And to that end, "that I can afford to do that" : THANK YOU HFC
noisy neighbor Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Hope things get better soon. Absolutely no rush on my stuff, no stress!! You still da man! -R
gtone Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Hope all comes out in the wash, Josh (see what I did there?). Get better soon and hope the rest of the yr is fuckery-free for ya!
mrjamiam Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Glad you got all the year's crap out of the way in the first fortnight, Josh. Get better now. I SAID, GET BETTER NOW, ear included.
rugby1970 Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Just ordered my first set of Josh's pickups for a project guitar. CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Josh is a gentleman and all around nice guy to work with; can't get any better. Typical of the great folks that I've encountered here on the HFC. Did I say CAN'T WAIT????
P Franco Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Had a friend (non guitar guy) assist with the install of a set of Charlotte double cream. Not sure how much difference it makes if the neck pickup might be backwards- however my green standard is now on another level because of the Charlottes. Thank you again Josh, there’s magic in these.
duncans Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Sorry to hear of the health problems Josh, wife had the virus a couple of months ago. We've been vaccinated for a year so hers was a mild case(if there is such a thing). She did the infusion and two days later was shampooing all the carpets in the house! I tested negative twice while she had it. Weird.

This isn’t the back of your Standard, is it?

Thanks for the history! I’m a relatively new arrival when it comes to Hamers. Got my first one (a Standard burst to boot) around Sep/Oct of 2019. The green one came after someone bought it from Dave’s and moved it on to me eventually.
