looking good Euroa.
Most reviews I have seen of GFS pups have been good

Thanks Wokka, sanson said he's used the p90s and they are good, just worried me a bit as they seem too good for the price, I have just ordered a tele 52 set for a different build so will see how they sound

Thankyou Sansan nice to hear from someone who actually has tried them, I've listened to a lot of clips and they sound almost too good for the price, was going to use CTS pots and orangedrops but might see if I can get some vintage PIO caps

im sure you would like it, trust me...

I think that often pick ups suffer from what I call Harley Syndrome, where 75% of the price is for the name.

Remember that the reason Gold Foils fell out of favour is that they were notoriously noisy and microphonic. I know guys like Jason Lollar seem to have fixed this now, but who knows what sort of construction the GFS ones have. They are the guys who put ST style pickups in a P90 case and didn't tell anyone that is what they were getting. (Dream 90s)

Well as of today GFS have lost or have no record of an order I placed a few days ago despite me having an order number $112usd worth...so watch this space

All good now missing order found an on its way, ordered the 52 tele pickups and single coil gold foils in a humbucker shell so will see how they sound

I look forward to your gold foil comments

must be the month for it, WD Music in the US sent me 1/2 a bridge, they did a stock take and found they had 1/2 a bridge too many so it's on its way.

After grain filling and sanding, applied colortone cherry red this time at full strength, pretty happy with the colour on the back (in the photo it looks brownish but it is more red in the flesh) ...some funky grain happening on the front left side will need to be resanded and restained.
Pickups finally arrived from Guitar Fetish GFS single coil humbucker sized goldfoils.
Without hearing them, have to say happy with the pickups as far as build quality is concerned. The pickups are wax potted with shielded wire. They are quite heavy but haven't pulled them apart to see how their made. Hopefully they sound as good as they look!
I was considering using an Ex trem as I couldn't find a Hagstrom style tailpiece, plus all the sold ones, had sold for over $200 then remembered that Hagstrom supplied Guild their tailpieces in the 60's thought I might have better luck finding a Guild tailpiece for a reasonable price. AS it happens Guild is now supplying new tailpieces, so will get one of them and put something over the G logo at the base of the tailpiece. see photo.
