Please bow to the Lord Of Late-Night. The Rajah of research, Sultan of seeking, scouring, and scrutiny.

I believe the search is at an end. I believe I have found the elusive, invisible, unknown manufacturer of our humbucker supplies.

A year ago, I though they were Gotoh. My tireless search for Gotoh contact information led me to KMS Shokai, which, while a good lead, turned out to be a bust in the end. They had the same bobbins, but were not the mouth of the river...

I began to wonder. And I began to search harder. An hour every night turned to two, three, and even five hours every night. Searching. Tirelessly.

Untill one day, on the phone, someone erred. They said a word. I remembered that word, and I looked for it, even more fervently than before.

Nothing. I didn't know how the word was spelled! Weeks turned into months, and still nothing.

Untill...

TONIGHT. GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS!
