Man,as usual,we are getting so ripped off out here.

The last set i bought were 'as new' and i get them for $220.Happy Camper.

I am building a few more Jem Bodies with Genuine Ibanez Necks and Swirling them,and have spec'd Dim Evo's in all of them.Ofcourse.

But i am so frustrated over the prices out here.

In the US,$180 a set.

Get used to it. You can get them cheaper in Australia if you look around, but not nearly at US prices. Many humbuckers can be bought new in Australia for about $120. That's still a pretty penny though. Best to try and source them on the classifieds here, or the 'Bay, etc second hand.

LOL !

More like its a commodity thats valued more by the persons requiring it,thus removing the inability of the customer to differ from value to need.

Might also be that they sit on shelf collecting dust,and the physical replacement value is to much of a risk.

Not to mention that fact that most Ibanez Users are 'lesser age' and really cant afford or be to bothered in spending the $$$ on a upgrade.

Anway,i am getting a few of them...selling them means i get a FREE set of pups !!

Thanks.
