erikbojerik Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 ...the ones on the Fender Hellecaster. Hellecaster They're similar-looking to the old split-coil pups that used to come on the 60s era Fender XII 12-string Jazzmaster. If they sound anything like those do, I'd love to get some for a proj. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted December 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Yeah, I've chased down all the Hellecaster and Seymour Duncan leads, but these aren't listed as stock items with SD. I have an email into their custom shop. I'm more interested to see if there are any other similar-wound options out there and if people here have used them. I'm thinking of doing strange things like splitting the coils (giving bass & treble side for each strat pup position) and mixing 'em up, i.e. neck(bass)+mid(treb)+bridge(treb). 3-way mini-toggle coil taps for each pup (bass coil, both, treb coil), 5-way switch and one push-pull pot (for neck pup on). This will give 56 possible pup combinations, by my count (whew). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I think some of the G&L Guitars use similar looking pickups. You might try that route as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 hellecasters are incredible. John Jorgenson will ray... AWESOME PLAYERS! a lil' cheesy but thats alright once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 if i remeber correctly, the G&L model that has them is called the Commanche, and the pickups were something like z coils, i'll check out there site to see if they have any more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 OK, I heard from the Seymour Duncan custom shop. They'll make the Hellecaster version for $120 each. That's $360 to fill up a strat (whew!). On the other hand, I've seen the original 60s Fender XII versions go for ~$200 on the 'bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
