My apologies, I can''t purchase this at this time, but I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind...
I have a HDT on order for delivery next month. I ordered it with same electronics and pickups you have.

How do the SD's sound compared to the SA's? Have you had a chance to compare?

Is the switcheroo as versatile as they say? I don't play out, I just record, so switching on the fly is not as much of an issue with me as some other people.

Maybe I can answer some questions for you also! I will let my fellow muso's know you have this for sale, maybe I can help.
Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello,

My take on the SDs vs the SAs is that the SDs sound thin and brittle to me. Keep in mind that I have only tried them on solid body Andersons. I have had SAs in Alder bodied Drop Tops before and completely loved the sound of that pickup. I have also had three Basswood bodied Drop Tops with SDs and never liked the SD sound. Too bright for my taste. The Anderson sight does say that the SAs have more mids than the SDs and that is what I must be hearing.

The switcheroo is awesome for my style of playing which is normally one setting for part of the song and the full bridge humbucker for the solo. The blower swith is awesome for me.

Hello,

This is to see if there is any interest or else I will be posting on Ebay. I am willing to negotiate on the price, but no low ball offers please. I am selling it to help ay for new flooring. I had some interest at first, but none came through.
