The pickups are the Seymour Duncan Alnico II pro and go for about $145 for a set and if I recall correctly, I used a MojoTone wiring harness. All totaled the parts cost was approximately $935. I've priced this to sell as I enjoyed building it (and it's about the 4th or 5th guitar I've assembled from parts) and I've enjoyed owning it. But I have too many guitars and this one rarely gets played these days. As you see from the photos, the frets have no discernible wear. It's a great player and I installed a 4 way switch. The positions, from bridge to neck, are as follows: 1. Bridge pickup only; 2. Bridge and neck in parallel; 3. Neck only; 4. Bridge and Neck in Series (like a humbucker). The pickups are hum cancelling in both the 2 and 4 position however the pickups are dead quiet for single coils on the 1 and 3 positions as the guitar is very well shielded with copper tape in all body cavities. It takes a lot of gain before any 60 cycle hum is noticeable.

As the guitar is well described, no returns are accepted. I have 100% positive feedback and will work with you if you have any issues.
The only nit picky issue I can find in my build is that the last tuner screw is about 1 mm from seating all the way. This has no affect on the play-ability of the guitar or the tuning stability (both of which are excellent by the way). I tried to photograph this but I don't think it's very discernible in the photos, but I know it's there because I chose to stop screwing that one to keep from stripping it. My pilot hole was 1 mm too shallow, in all candor.
