Maybe I'm really late on this. Or maybe not, as these sites don't seem to be fully completed yet. But I've got a few project guitars that I'd been planning to use Rio Grande pickups and APC pickups in. Well, they've both got new websites, and are apparently selling direct!

The technical data still sucks, and there aren't a lot of pics. But I've pretty much known what I want from them for a while. It was just a matter of finding an easy way to get it.
Also, QParts has apparently dropped the hyphen from their name — just to be confusing, I guess — and have set up a direct sales site:

They used to do direct sales a few years ago but stopped. Every time I want some QParts knobs, Musician's Foe and WD never seem to have the exact ones I want. Good luck on trying to get the kids down at Guitar Center to get a custom order right. GFS and StewMac have some cheap knock-offs which I tried and discovered that they rust really easily. So this is some good news!
