Lerxst1281733995 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Go to Guitarfetish.com you'll find the pickups you need at a great price... Most of us on this forum get our pickups and other parts there... Ya just can't beat it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxst is right about Guitar Fetish, great pickups at very reasonable prices, but I'm not sure if they do business internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassady Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 A couple of less expensive handwound pickup options are High Order and True Tone Technologies. I've never used the True Tones, although I have a Tele pickup on the way, but the set of PAF replicas that I got from Jeff at High Order are superlative. By the way, the business names above are links to the web pages of the winders. Cassady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue sparkle Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Those guitarfetish mic`s looks great (nice reviews on harmony central). I kind of like the sound of the stock ones but they are to microphonic, maybe i should have them way potted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsaslim Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Between my brother & I we have installed 6 different sets (all different) of GFS pickups & I am very happy with them. Totally legit, even for $30 apiece. I'm pretty sure you'll be as pleasantly surprised with them as we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
