V16'63 Clone PAF Humbucker Guitar Pickup Set Boutique Take A Listen

  

This listing is for one pair of uncovered pickups. A number of friends and customers over the years have suggested that I offer my pickups to the public.

Well, I finally decided to listen, and I'm not getting any younger, so here we are. To make a very long story short, I've been building guitars since High School woodshop in 1983, and professionally since 1992. I've had the honor of building for guitar and bass greats such as Duke Robillard of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, "Dime Bag" Darrell Abbott of Pantera, Todd Rundgren, Allen Woody of The Allman Brothers Band, and both of those lovely gents, Peter Hayes & Robert Levon Been, of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. These pickups are a variant of my'59 clones, the difference being that these use short-bar AlNiCo magnets (A5 in the neck and A2 in the bridge) and evenly wound coils using 42AWG enamel coated wire. To hear exactly what they sound like, check out the attached video but also watch a new live video from "Houseplant" from their June 2024 Bonnaroo show. Mike Nix is playing a CS reissue Les Paul SG using my'63's. I think it sounds fantastic if I say so myself. There is a great solo example starting at 6:58. Use these keywords on YouTube to find the video. I offer double black, double cream, or Zebra in either direction with either nickel or gold plated fillister screws. Send me a message once you've placed your order with bobbin color choices and whether you want gold or nickel plated screws. Speaking of covers - there are a myriad of cover options out there, some of them quite pricy based upon their level of historic accuracy, and it's simply too expensive to keep every option in stock. If you want a cover, or covers, I can order them from the usual suspects and install at no additional charge beyond what I pay for them, but it may add a bit of time to your order. I'll give you 30 days with them. I really like my stuff, and I'm pretty sure you will too! Don't forget check out the video demo by Mike Nixx and watch Houseplant's new video from Bonnaroo! In the demo, he is playing a Wildwood spec'62 Custom Shop SG, J Rockett Audio Blue Note overdrive, MI Audio Blue Boy overdrive, and a 1X12 Wonder Dawg combo amp.
