Humble Pickups

THE Black-eyed susan single coil - $50 Each

The Black-Eyed Susan comes from the slang term for a six-shooter from the old West. Since they have 6 iron ‘slugs’ in them it seems like a good description. They are low output, very clear mid - high accentuated pickup. Lots of glorious ‘Quack’ for funk and blues riffing.

Neck 5.4 K, Middle 5.8 K, Bridge 6.4 K. 52 mm, 50.5 mm and 49.2 mm pole spacing.

Alnico 2 magnets or Alnico 3 for the high strings and Alnico 5 Magnets for the low strings give them a balanced attack from high to low and no high string harshness.

Cap choices are Black Fibre, Zebra Wood or Stained wood with with gold or black screen..

Waxed cotton push back wire for the leads.
