These are a limited run. I mostly sell Bass pickups. I am designing a whole new line of guitar pickups, until they are finalized I am keeping them to a limited amount for sale. Look for them to be available in the coming month. I’ve spent a number of months designing them and finalizing parts etc….Coming soon!

I do not do returns. I do offer rewinds or replacement for defects due to the manufacturing process.

Items are as described.

Handmade QualityWith years of pickup winding experience, I wind every set here in the small town of Milton, North Carolina. These aren't mass-produced; they are hand-guided and tensioned to ensure the "soul" of the pickup remains intact.

Includes: Mounting screws, and surgical spring tubing.

Warranty: Includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects and workmanship. If the tone is not right I offer rewinds only. I do not accept returns. I’ve been burned too many times by this.

Note: As these are hand-wound to a specific wind count, DCR values may vary slightly.
