"Here's some exclusive pictures from inside the Seymour Duncan factory where Seymour and his crew hand made every part of this (certified) world record breaking 158 pound P.A.F. style pickup:
from laser cutting the massive bobbin templates to hand winding over 5,000 turns of 23awg wire!
The pickup was built for a 32 foot guitar designed by Matty Baratto (a Seymour Duncan OEM) and constructed by a crew of the best-of-the-best builders from the Monster Garage and Monster House series for the Discovery Channel series BIG!"

Having made the biggest pickup in the world,I wonder if Seymour will soon be driving this car.The engine is quite common but more often found in a Mustang...the P-51,that is.
