I'm used to rocking an esquire so one bridge pickup suits me fine, and amen if its gonna be one it should be a BKP. If this had a pig90 I'd be banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to afford it.
At that price, buy it, sell the existing pickup, and buy a Pig90. You're getting the guitar practically for free. (Well, not quite, but given what BKPs go for, that's a damn cheap overall price.)
It will probably go for more then that (probably around $400 I'm guessing) due to the BKP and Mastery bridge as they together are worth more than the current auction price. I'm gonna watch it, if it doesnt go much higher I might have to jump on it instead of the dearmond I was thinking of buying.
I'm super surprised I never saw this posted to craigslist in the area. Homeboy went straight to ebay with it.
The hole where the jack was supposed to be installed 'wood' drive me crazy.

You gotta know where to post something to maximize the likeliness of selling. I do it quite a bit, stuff I know is a slow mover here I'll go straight to eBay, and big stuff I don't want to ship I post on CL.
That hole is easily fixable. Thats usually the outputjack on telemasters so it seems this guy varied from original plans when building it. You could put a toggle where the current output jack is and relocate it to the proper position. Maybe make the toggle like different cap values or something for the tone control.

There you go. Always thinking. If you end up picking it up and want to pickup a hardshell case and have it shipped to you in case let me know -- it's local and I'd be down to help a doom roomer out.

Awww thanks bud. I'll let you know! If my boss buys my back up dearmond, and this auction doesn't go over $300 then I might be able to pull it off.

I dunno how useful this is, but it sure looks doomy
One of the guys over on sevenstring (also a UK guy) picked one of these up a while back and says he really likes it, but I've not been able to get more out of him than that. I keep hoping he'll record a proper demo.
