This humbucking pickup is housed in a modified Johnny Smith style gold or chrome plated metal cover which measures approximately 0.45" tall.


Note that the thickness of the pickup as stated above does not include the output cable; at the location of the output cable the additional space required for pickup installation is approximately 4 mm.

Given this, please allow a few days after the sale is complete for me to complete your order.


Also- many of the pickups I offer on eBay have options such as bobbin top color; please keep in touch with me after the sale to communicate your preferences.


More pickup models and other guitar products are offered in my eBay store! I design and fabricate all of the pickups I offer in my shop & can offer just about any custom pickup for any guitar or bass. If you are interested in a custom pickup design, please send me an email; you can find our contact information on the Vintage Vibe Guitars website. 


This eBay sale is for one custom "suspended" humbucking pickup. The pickup is approximately 11.5 mm [0.45"] tall and is available in either a pick guard or neck heel mount style metal cover. The coils of the pickup are surrounded by grounded shielding which is very effective in eliminating noise from external electric fields.

If smooth, warm yet articulate tone with reduced noise is your goal, this pickup is for you.


Note that the thickness of the pickup as stated above does not include the output cable; at the location of the output cable the additional space required for pickup installation is approximately 4 mm.

 

  

This pickup features the highest quality materials and methods of construction:

  • Gold or chrome plated metal parts
  • Vacuum potted in forming wax to eliminate microphonic squeal
  • Grounded shielding on the pickup coil and shielded output leads

 

Each pickup includes a specifications sheet detailing:

  • Winding direction
  • DC resistance
  • Magnetic polarity
  • Magnetic field strength
  • Installation notes

 

A detailed wiring diagram with solder points indicated is included with each pickup.

 

Each pickup is individually hand made by custom guitar designer and builder Pete Biltoft at the Vintage Vibe Guitars production facility. 

Installation of pickups is relatively easy, but does require that you have a good quality soldering iron (25 watt pencil type recommended, such as the Weller WTCTP) and a good quality multimeter (Fluke model 10, for example) to check your work. In addition, the reference book Guitar Player Repair Guide, published by Hal Leonard Publishing Corp, ISBN 0-87930-291-7 is recommended.

 

This pickup is guaranteed for 5 years from date of purchase for the original purchaser and will be repaired or replaced free of charge assuming there is no obvious physical damage. Details of the warranty are included on the specification sheet provided with each pickup.
