What's Hot
CirrusCirrus Frets: 8491
edited April 2017 in Parts £
You may have seen the thread a few weeks ago where I found this in a box and didn't know what it was. Thanks to that thread, I do now. I've not installed it in a guitar but I've tested it by checking the resistance (13.62kohms) and getting my wife to hold it up to the guitar strings while holding the wires to a jack lead - noise came out the amp when I strummed the strings, so I'm pretty sure it works. I think this was probably made in the '80s, from a bit of googling.





A quick look on Ebay completeds makes me think £45 is a reasonable price, but since I've not properly tried it in anger (I suspect it'd be too high output and dark for me), I'll price it at...

£35 posted

But if anyone thinks that's ludicrous in either direction, give me a shout.

    Often overlooked now with all the boutique winders, but still a great pickup IMHO

  • This is what Townshend had installed in between the mini humbuckers on his Les Paul Deluxe guitars. For special effects apparently, that is: loud bits of feedback!
