Since the Storms were introduced in 1968 and the picksup were standard shape and size it is not suprising to find a good selection with replaced pickups.

It is perhaps more suprisingthat that are not more - a reflection of th equality of the originals ?

It is also a  straightforward job to replace the pickups on the breadwinner.

One of the critisisms  of the Preacher and the Viper was that their non-standard pickups size [smaller] made it difficult to customise.   This has not stood in the way of the deteremined.

Vipers have also provided a good opportunities for full custom jobs.

Here are a couple of Mike Woodford’s custom jobs.
