How about that pickup? Is it some type of "horseshoe" or a "made to look like" one?

I think I read somewhere ... ??? ... they were sued like Epiphone was ... for patent infringement on the horseshoe pickup.

I think they were made in Chicago ... ???

Looks like a cool piece at the right price. Wonder how it sounds?

Probably sounds great especially when the "strings need tightning"!

I e-mailed the seller about the neck scale and wound up having to explain "nut" and "bridge". The measurement I got back was "about 23". I doubt if they passed the tape through the pickup, so it may be 22 1/2".

Anybody ever heard one of these?
