I just started putting my cabinet together. Going to make a few mods as i put it together (from youtube suggestions). I am going to run the stock pick up for now just to try it out. A lot of people on youtube say to contact http://www.tacomacompany.com/ for a different pick up setup that solves a lot of problems.

The stock pick up worked ok for me. The tubing betwen the metal tube and the handle get soft fairly quick and collapses while in use. I replaced it with another style of tubing and now its a bit too rigid.
