early pickups!
The pvc cover is deep drawn with a punch made directly from the inside of an original Slab pickup’s cover.
Inside is the same construction as the original’s, some thousand windings of wire, two alnico magnets, a little piece of maple and some sticky tape (no bobbin), closed with foam (Eurofighter seat foam, best replacement I could find), an aluminum bar and some epoxy – and no potting ;)
The original pickups from the first batch had a dc resistance of ≈12.2 kΩ, but you can also order it with the resistance of the second batch (≈6.7 kΩ) or whatever you want. Of course you can have wax potting, too, if you prefer it a little more straight. No extra charge for those custom wishes. Completely handmade in Munich/Bavaria on my old lathe.
As each pickup is made by order, the delivery time is 1–2 weeks.
Price: € 189.–/ea., € 349.–/pair (incl. VAT, plus shipping costs)
