Seems likely. And even those have seemingly dried up. Don’t hear his shit spoken about at all anymore. And I haven’t looked in years but I would bet everything but my last dollar that his site STILL isn’t updated!?!! Haha

His website does look like it requires AOL hours.

His Hell Baby was my favorite for years, although you can't get those anymore because materials or some shit lol. But the Nuke and Afwayu are also awesome. Too bad he can't get this part of things together. But I guess he also doesn't really give a shit.

Yeah he’s “secretly sourced” special materials in some of his. That sounds like total bullshit. It prolly was him literally ripping off some other pickup and he didn’t want it out for too long that eventually word would get out or something. But this special Detroit “Ore” that is so rare he only could source $40 worth of material?? In todays world they have shit so rare it can’t be found again?? And it was from Detroit? Haha. People used to be so gullible. Cause it’s like yeah I guess why would he be making this shit up? Then you see how he ran his company and how he dealt with people and it’s exactly what his dork ass would do

I have an SD Pegasus in my LP standard and it absolutely rips, love that thing


But if you're looking for something more classic I'll throw in another vote for a pearly gates

Wade makes a great product but yeah he’s awful to get ahold of or work with. I try to stick to used anymore when I can. Which is why I’m just watching Reverb and the forums for a zebra 2nd Degree Blackbelt. And I’m not in a huge hurry on that because it’s for a parts build I’m getting things together for. Shame his customer service and communication sucks but that is what it is at this point I guess.
