The first batch is almost ready to ship!
We've had to order some more of the custom parts to keep up with the orders, so there are a few little delays while those come in, but we're getting close.
We've also started engraving the bottom of the pickups with the McPherson logo and model mark, along with an H for Harper, who has wound all the coils for this run.
I've been playing mine for a couple of weeks now, and I honestly still love this thing. It's a really unusual pickup, and the way it responds and handles gain is something I haven't experienced from a conventional PAF-style humbucker.
If you haven't watched the video yet, this is where the whole experiment came from:

This has been one of those experiments I've been wanting to try for ages.
There's an old PAF story that I've never been able to prove,Β but it was plausible enough that I wanted to see what would actually happen if I built my own version.
Well... I built it.
And I'm honestly pretty blown away by it.
I've just released the video showing the whole experiment, including the build, testing and sound demos.
Watch it here:

And yes... I've decided to make a small number of these because I like this pickup WAY too much not to. π Links in the video description
