What??? It would be really interesting to see. Not knowing if that was actually said or who said it there are a few ways to make an more authentic pickup than I do- one make the bobbins cheaper so the ...

The "arched metal cover" on a rickenbacker is the magnet. There are two horseshoe magnets, one on the right and one on the left, the coil is located inside the horseshoes.

I am not taking any repairs for a while but I would certainly make a standard item like an ultra tone pickup. A P-90 wont fit- wrong pole spacing, wrong mounting holes.
They are similar to P-90s in w ...

thanks everyone- we recorded that when- over a year ago??? There are a couple more vids with Orville playing two or three more pickups coming out and then Orville plays all of the pickups clean thro ...

They are humbucking and wired in series, it is unusual for a vintage guitar to have a set of pickups that are humcancelling combined but certainly not unheard of

Thanks Larry and everyone else thats posted something about one of the repairs or restorations I have done for so many here.

Bob you are corrct- its 20 years but it starts from the time you file so by the time you get the official patent it can vary.
Thanks Michael!

There is alot of confusion about what happened.
there is no patent on horseshoe pickups- patents are only good for 10 years and this was patented in the 1930's.
There could be some legal confusion ...

I love the pickup cover and am thinking about stealing your idea- is that OK?

Pickups will be ready as soon as the plates come back from the plater- couple more weeks probably, I have bobbins wound and ready to go.

Sorry I didnt see this ,I can make those without covers- the bottom plate would have tabs in the same location where they would be on the cover so it could be a direct fit. Those are a pretty noisy pi ...

Long time no see- i havent posted here for years- hi Rick A!

Thanks- used some of those many times from the old link.

You cant call it the Elliecaster, a friend of mine already is working that angle!

Yes but later model 1-1/4" use a finer wire for the coil and run 6-7.5K

I saw that console too, looked to be in fair shape.
It was good to meet over a half dozen SGF members- too bad there was so much noise I was beggining to think about throwing my dunlop bullet nose at ...
