1954 National New Yorker..Need help with a pickup.

Michael Hogan · Posted 27 Jan 2012 7:48 pm

Last year I found a New Yorker that was new and unused. So new infact that it had not been finished. The wiring and all other parts are complete but a pickup was never fitted. Could anyone help with either an old pickup or photos at least? I will be asking Jason Lollar to make a replica. I have several other version New Yorkers but as most people know each version had different setups. I would also like to find an original case.

Nice !
But I don't believe it's a '54. More like a 30s model. The fretboard and tone control are 30s style from what I've seen.

Thanks Bill, I bought it as a 54 and I have several 30s and 40s models and they are very different to this one.
Actually I just found this old post and it looks like Richard has what I need.

Still need some help with the dimensions and specs of the pickups. Does anyone have one of these Nationals?

Michael,
I don't own one like that. All mine are pre ww2.
It looks like yours has been routed for two pickups.
They did make a two pickup model in the mid to late 60s just before they went out of business. Yours appears to be one of those. I don't have the measurements you need. Hope these pics help.
