I Installed Pickups That Cost More Than The Guitar!

Today I am going to install the Nazgul and Sentient pickups from Seymour Duncan into a Schemer SGR 7 string guitar.
The guitar was really cheap and the pickups cost more than the guitar.

Do you hear a difference let me know in the comments?

When installing the pickups I had to modify the tabs on the new pickups by removing some material with a belt sander to get them to fit in the pickup cavity in the guitar.

One also interesting note was the bridge was not grounded in the guitar because of the coating on the bridge and bridge posts. I had to use sandpaper to remove some of the coating to get the bridge to make contact with the bridge post which was grounded to the central ground point in the electronics cavity. Now the guitar is dead silent.
