I would try Al Brisco's Steel Guitars Of Canada. A genuine gentleman and he has a good online store. If he hasn't got them in stock and they can be obtained I reckon he'd be able to supply them. He also has mounting-plates for them.

Alumitone isn't the name they use. That's why you didn't find it easily

| So...for you folks that use, or have tried these, what do you think of their tone? I know this is totally subjective, but curious what the overall consensus is. |

I had one in a steel once...and it was pretty dark sounding, no life at all. Replaced it with a Trutone and it all came alive...The comments I got from others were all over the map, though...my personal guess is that it depends a lot on the whole signal chain...the steel, the volume pedal, the amp, etc.

I have them in my Carter D10, replacing Wallace Truetones. They sound like single-coil pickups (clarity and string-separation) but don't pick up hum etc. I like 'em.

I've played a few guitars with them, including Bob Simons' MSA with the modular pickups. They're similar in tone to the Truetone, and have almost identical attack to a good single coil.
