Large tolerances in the 60's meant that there
not all vintage pickups sounded the same. Small variations in wire
thickness and insulation meant that some pickups were brighter than
others. This set replicates some of the brighter pickups from the late
60's. They use a special plane enamel wire which gives the pickup more
sparkle and definition in the highs.
These come calibrated for vintage tone on modern guitars
which means I use flush poles and demagnetize (degauss) the magnets slightly
for that aged alnico sound. The pickups are potted with my own special
shellac mixture that helps to further replicate the tone of vintage alnico
and well as adding more texture to the tone which helps your guitar sound
more alive.
Soundclips
All
of my soundclips are raw which means they are just a guitar, and amp, and
a mic. I don't use any pedals or digital FX! The guitar in this clip
is a kit from www.diyguitarshop.com
