They're supposed to be pretty close to the real things. I found some pickups I like better, and I doubt many people will have a need for these things (or be able to make them fit). I can do a trace of them to make sure they'll fit. I need to keep the bezels, though maybe Bob Shade could sell you a set.

Yeah, it really depends if the person who ends up with it is looking to be historically accurate, or just wants to get up and running with some (quite good) pickups. Anyway, they're here, and probably not going anywhere soon.

I have a set and they're in the photos to illustrate but I'm holding on to them as I know I'll need them down the line and they're a little less hot than others I've tried which suits me. Happy to measure them if it helps.

It's a 67 MkV. Photos and detailed descriptions are here: www.flickr.com/photos/sumlinYou get: refinished body shell, neck with all attachments (tuners, nut, trussrod cover - i.e. impossible to find rocking horse shit stuff), repro pickguard, trem block and unit with fault (see pics).You need: pickups, electrics/knobs/switches, neck screws and plate, bridge, strap pegs.The previous owner liked the 'slanted neck pickup' design so band-sawed the last fret diagonally and re-routed the body to twist the neck pickup a few degrees. Looks cool. I didn't even notice it when I got it. Neck is hands down the nicest feeling neck I've ever held, possibly re-fretted as the wire looks good and looks marginally fatter than the stock Mosrite wire but it's been done well.I worked out a sale with someone who then came by a pristine one and opted for the easier option. I then sold it again and it's been knackered by the CITES agreement worries as the fretboard is likely Brazilian rosewood. This means exporting it out of the UK runs the risk of customs seizing it as it doesn't have a CITES certificate stating I didn't cut down a tree to make it.It's a ballache as it's sitting there in a box ready to be posted.I'm half tempted to restore it but I think I went crazy last year and I have 7 Mosrite-type guitars. I am a proper twat, I know. And part of me thinks if I ever get a MkV I'd like a stock Ricky-Wilson-blue one. So it's in this weird no mans land of for sale/not for sale.I was asking 450 which I think is very fair considering a complete one in B condition is getting on for $2000 these days. You could get the correct parts and restore it correctly or fit a new bridge and tail and make a total downstroke weapon with this thing. Happy to hear any trade suggestions - just after an Echoplex at the moment but hit me with anything that springs to mind.

My: Catalinbread Karma Suture.Purple/germanium version. It's great, but I'm sure I only need one of my two Percolator-style pedals, and I'm more attached to the one a friend made me.for your:Other pedal? Maybe a microphone? Anything fun.

I don't think I'd use a tremolo like that, sorry. Probably only an EQD Hummingbird or something that does the Vox reverse sawtooth thing.But! Almost any other idea welcome. Except envelope filters.

My TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Noir for your fullsize PolyTune 2 any color.I love this pedal, but my eyes are old and I have the room to spare on my board. I'll even throw in $10.Looks like this:
