wow, those look interesting.  300 a set is a bit pricey when you consider his standard sets are 220 and sound great (though with hum).

Yeh I've got a set of Blues Specials from fralin, they sound great. I can't imagine how much diferent a $300.00 set of fralins could be, or for that matter, how much more labor or parts is involved, maybe he's getting too cocky.

Don't know, But I'd still love to hear them myself or a report from someone here about them, and yes, i spent 220 for my strat set

Not to defend really expensive pickups, but from the look of them I bet he would be dealing with a significant uptick in parts and labor.  Very unique looking angled blade polepieces, which might have to be done custom as opposed to the dime/dozen alnico rods for standard polepieces, and by its nature, you're dealing with two coils under the pickup cover instead of one.  If anything I think its lucky that each one of those doesn't cost as much as his other humbucker pickups cost.
