Hotrock Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Does anyone know about these pups? There is a bloke that I know that might swap some of his bits and pieces if I can build on of these. Unfortunately I can't really find any info on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ansil Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 from what i remmber in this guitar book i had. it said they actually had a horseshoe shaped magnet in them.. [not the same size of course] and that one side was positive one was negative and somewhere in the middle was somewhere in the middle. loosely quoted from melvn hiscocks book build your own electric guitar.

Here's what you want to end up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xafier Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 damn thats gonna be painful if you smash your knuckle on that thing chugging away looks like a big ass magnet that you slap a wire to... how hard could that be to make?

jefm Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 It's two horseshoe magnets.... I can't remember the polarities but I think they're mounted so they oppose each other.... inside is a normal single coil PU So it's pretty much the same as your normal single except with a big magnet at least that's what I gather...I was tring to track one down for my guitar...they're tough to find the tough part would be finding decent magnets... I'd love a humbucker version...that'd be a riot....especially a really hot one :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
