| Strat and Tele Pickups In 3 Basic Flavors |
|
| '54 SPECIAL Smooth, clear vintage tone that is not harsh or brittle. • These pickups feature specially ground and processed alnico magnets, which are a slightly larger diameter, as found on the earliest original pickups. They are designed to provide a vintage appearance on the guitar, but feature the same sophisticated construction methods as the standard Vintage Plus pickups for richer tone and slightly higher output. VINTAGE PLUS Rich, warm tone with high output and low noise. High output versions of standard pickups, without the muddy tone that usually results from other brands of hot pickups. They feature the full dynamic range and clear tone of vintage style pickups, but with extended bass, midrange response and smooth balanced sound. SUPER 90 BRIDGE PICKUPS High output single coil sound with a full, balanced treble response Specially designed bridge pickups for Strat or Tele with the warm, clear tone and high output of a Gibson P-90. The feature original-type screw pole pieces and fit without any modification to the guitar. Super 90's are a more practical alternative to modifying a guitar to fit humbucking pickups and provide a better match for single coil neck pickups. Gibson Type Pickups In Two More Basic Flavors Z-90 • Super output single coil fits standard humbucker mounting rings. • The original single-coil replacement for full sized humbuckers. Huge, dynamic sound and ultra-wide tonal response. CLASSIC HUMBUCKERS • Classic style humbuckers with Vintage Plus sound • A full line of new pickups with classic vintage-style appearance, but with improved Vintage Plus construction, fine tuned for greater tonal range and more expressive response. |

| The Infamous Banned Ad has been turned into a poster We worked up this ad for Vintage Guitar magazine a couple of years ago but they refused to print it, so after many requests, we just got around to having it made into this extra slick 18x24 poster, printed on heavy stock. We'd be happy to send you one for a mere $10 with your pickup order or $13 boxed up and shipped by itself.

Mini-Strat Neck Pickup for Teles Just another thing somebody should have invented a long time ago. It's as close as we could get to stuffing a Strat pickup into that little hole without routing anything or cheesing up the pickguard. We got pretty damn close. |

We figured out a way to get this snappy aged nickle finish for the Classic Humbuckers. Same price as non-aged. |

Redd Volkaert, who plays his fanny off with Merle Haggard has been using Z-90's on his custom guitar for a while. Now he's also using the Mini-Strat neck pickup and a '54 Special bridge pickup on his workingman's Tele. And he said some real nice things about 'em too. |
We're always happy to have some more good press.
