Hey all,

i've been on the hunt for a set of 450 and 455 and it seems no one has em. anyone know of a vendor who does? thanks.

To the best of my knowledge...you have to get them directly from Tom, and it will be about a three month wait.

Monkton guitars in Colorado sometimes has them in stock, but I think they are cheaper direct from Tom.

joker:

it looks like you're in NYC? if you are, 48th st. custom is a dealer, but as with most things there, they were way overpriced. they were also out of stock the last time i was there, but they may have some more in now.

 

[jokerjkny]

yea, dood, i tried them first, but they're backordered too. I actually heard the lead guitar who plays for SNL snatched up the 5 pairs they had to stick in all his guitars. what a chump, no? i digress, but they're pickup prices are about what i find online. just a matter of availability. thanks tho.

Call Tom direct and order a set. If you ask he will make them double whites. Here is his number:
615-876-3453

Hey they are worth the wait! Excellent PAF reproduction. Tom does everything in house. There was an excellent article in the Tone Quest Report on them. Gorgeous orginal PAF tone.
