Doug Aldrich question?

[Ayrton]

Don't know. The Holdsworth is basically an Alnico 2 JB with two screw coils.

Which is a shop floor custom, and only cost about $15 more than a regular production pup.

Just find a dealer that will order one for you. Chub maybe?

Actually it costs considerably more...the made a production version of that pickup with the wrong values but the custom shop one goes for 160 or so

The comment was a "A Holdsworth is basically a JB with an A2 magnet and double Fillister heads".

That pup is a shop floor custom, and can be bought for the same price as any other regular Duncan. (I have two)

Now, if you call the custom shop and say "I want an AH-1", then yes you will pay $160.

As far as any differences between the two, I don't know, and never bothered to find out.
