Yesterday (thursday) I received a set of aged PU covers from Throbak that I ordered last Friday.
I was very surprised to receive them in less than a week, especially living in France! Thanks for the very fast shipping (they were shipped less than one hour after I paid them), and thanks for the beautiful job. :salude
I surely didn't expect them to arrive in a nice black box, with a couple of pick :) They're beautifully made and definitely look better than the original Gibson BB covers. The difference is subtle but very nice. The aging is very ligh (more than I expected), but it looks as they will age naturally very fast from playing.

Sorry for the crappy pictures...

Jon did something similar for me -- on a set of used Throbaks, no less.

Stellar customer service.

His packaging, I feel he goes way and above from other companies. ie.. I get amazed. When I receive the parts it shows that he cares about representing his products well.
