    @ darthdamo: if the build quality is anything to go by they are a quality item, and I hope they sound as good

    @ tonyw: scatter wound is as the wire is being wound onto the pickup bobbin, each wind is not exactly next to the last like machine wound would be. This is due to either a less precise way of feeding the wire on, or the wire being guided literally by hand. As such every pickup is ever so slightly different from the last - so truly custom. As for the medium, I am not sure, but perhaps a medium value in ohms, these are between 6k and 7k ohms, as compared to a high output on which might be 12k, etc

    @ wokka: no worries, and yes true left handed pots turn the other way, anti clockwise. Cheap lefties simply have righty pots in them, with righty knobs, yes the numbers go the other way as well on proper lefty numbered knobs

    Stan i have probably wound 2000+ sets in my life, this doesnt answer the question of what is a medium scatter wind? and why would you put A3 in the bridge? defies logic.
