Austyn Mills24 January 2025 I ordered a set of Lollar pickups from Brad and had him install them in my Tele - the difference in tone is night & day, great comms throughout and overall a very fun process. Can't wait to come back for the next mod - thanks so much man! Colin Lawrence10 January 2025 Brad was very knowlegeable and helpful as always. I have purchased several necks for my Tele and Strat builds and they have been of really good quality and apart from relief setting to personal taste, they have required no extra finishing.
