Real or not that's more money for a set of pups than i've paid for 99% of my guitars.....
there are a lot of 'expensive' pickups on the market that cost a pretty penny; Dry Z are just one of the many examples.
My first set of Dry Z I paid a few C notes for, then eventually sold them & made my $$$ back plus a very nice steak dinner 8)
Been thru a few sets of Dry Z but they are by no means my favorite humbucker.
IMO there are plenty of other humbucker options out there that are much more affordable & that have nearly as good, comparable sonic response.
IMO Dry Z are over hyped, over priced, and now days are the proverbial 'unicorn.'
I have one set left but it is very special, and for multiple reasons.
I removed them from the original guitar & they have never been installed in any other guitar, yet. :wink:
I think I have about $50 in them
Maybe they will never go into another guitar; don't know.
According to a gentleman in Europe my last Dry Z set is the latest serialized set he has ever seen & he has owned a few sets himself.
Dry Z are (now) quite rare but my set has a feature that makes them extremely rare.
They sounded awesome in the guitar I removed them from
