i thought you might have introduced his work here. mine should be in today or tomorrow. usps is quick. i'm going to record it & the evh78 in the same guitar for comparison if i get a chance. i think it will be a TKO if what i've heard is true.
ok

I'm not sure he's that frequent a member -- does he check here regularly lurking?

I emailed him with questions a few weeks back. I was thinking of trying him out, mostly for a set of strat pups. Im happy with the WCRs I have. It aint broke... But Ive always had a hard time with strat pups. My strat demands are pretty strait forward. 70s Jimi. Low output and clear as a bell. I may try him yet.

he's cool. he might have some good ideas for the strat. i believe he lurks here occasionally. i got the pickup yesterday. i recorded a crappy sample with the existing evh78 in my new korina strat, then switched in the smits. i immediately heard alot more high end detail. i will try to post the clips, but they just don't sound very good recorded at a whisper. i think we have discussed this, the speakers just aren't moving at that volume. i move the mic's around, (was also trying my new fathead ribbon, 57 on the left & fathead on the right.)but the sound in the headphones is just not smooth or sweet like it sounds in the room. i may put them up anyway just for research purposes!
