So the 'folly' aspect of this build got the better of me yesterday and I went and ordered some new PU's without even trying the kit PU's like I had originally intended.

Like the fool that I am I spent up AU$120 on a pair of new Epiphone ProBuckers in Gold. I've seen some comments on YouTube that were quite favourable and demo's that pleased my ears so when I saw them for the price I simply couldn't refuse. Hopefully the hype and expectations are wildly exceeded...
