And I need some hens teeth Ivor.
I think I have a better chance. Look out for the copies.

[Ivor Greenwood]

Hey Mr Hartley.....So you don't think I will get some....I thought you knew me better than that....I also have some hens... I have one hear that swallowed an elastic band three weeks ago, and has been laying the same egg ever since...Watch this space

[David Hartley]

Good luck.
They will cost you if you do find any.
And, will they be genuine.?
No doubt you will let me know.

I want one when you get one!

....I do believe that my MCI D10 has a pair of 'em.....

[Ken Byng]

I have 2 originals and 2 late models.

Not for sale though.

[Ivor Greenwood]

Do not worry guys....Mr Beattie from Telonics , will turn up at Dallas with a superb copy....Get your order in early...Limited supply only....Mine will be fitted to the latest all singing and dancing MSA, with illuminated fret boards...And it better be able to play itself or I will be in trouble

[David Hartley]

I knew that was happening,

They will be monster pups.

I will be in touch, I will need 2.

[Ken Byng]

I will be very interested to see them Ivor, and to learn from Dave B what lengths Telonics went to in order to emulate these classic pickups. I have heard many so-called clones of pickups on 50's and 60's 6 string guitars, and most of them don't cut the mustard. However, I know the R&D team at Telonics work very hard on their products, and if anyone can get near to the chrome surround 705 pickup it is Dave and his team.

Ivor - I'm not so sure about the all singing all dancing MSA guitar though. You and I did an A/B side by side test with your MSA and my Show Pro, and there was a marked difference in sustain and depth of tone.

But that's because Ivor knows more about tone than you Ken.
