Pickups

We understand that there are many different kinds of pickups. We understand that your favorite kind of pickup may not be listed here. We're aware of the possibility that your favorite boutique pickup winder may not be on this list. We are not attempting to create an exhaustive list of every possible boutique pickup builder or every different style of pickup. We do think that the list of pickups we're itemizing below represent 99% of the pickups out on the market.

Are we interested that there's some guy or gal out in the backwoods near you who winds pickups so excellent that people think it's possible that s/he's been "seduced by the devil"? Has this "seduction" resulted in pickups with uncommon, even heavenly, mojo? Does s/he back up his product with excellent customer service and a fully guaranteed money-back refund? Does s/he walk that talk? In other words, does s/he not only say it, but do it? Well, the answer is that we probably would be interested. However, please be reminded that as we develop these lists of examples of pieces of musical equipment, that doing so is less a matter of personal interest and more a matter of of providing lists of equipment and manufacturers who have not only created the equipment, but that also serve as the most readily and easily identifiable examples.
