These pickups are based on BIGSBY STYLE pickups I had a chance to analyze a few
years ago. I loved the "old sound" the pickups produced and decided to make my own versions.  These pickups are hand wound, hand finished and hand assembled. The covers are CNC routed of aluminium and the frames are CNC routed of aluminium or wood. 
    
​Aluminium is not a transparent sounding metal, so there's a slight loss of top end in the sound of these pickups. But if amp treble is increased the highs are smooth and clean,
Nice musical tone with the spice of old school vibe.
The output is quite low. So not recommended for hard rock or metal music.
These pickups work fine for Jazz, blues, rockabilly and other roots music. Way to
Grady Martin tone. 

Pole piece spacing available: 49.2 mm and 52 mm  

DC resistance:  Bridge pickup: 3.8 K    Neck pickup: 3.4 K
