FS: Swineshead Humbucker Pickup Set - Handwound in England

Schnozz

I bought these for a guitar I no longer have...

As I understand it, these were Swineshead's crowd pleaser set, a la the Seymour Duncan Jazz/JB etc.

To me, the bobbins look like sapele/walnut for the Condor and purple heart/sapele for the Runaway.

Each has 9.5" of cable, 4 conductor and a 50mm direct mount. Currently, the black wire is soldered to the bare wire, when it should have been soldered to the green (as per the diagram above).

I bought short leg German nickel mounting plates, screws and springs, which will be included.

i had a few sets of these in my early builds, not with the wooden bobbins though.  They were nice pickups

A friend of mine loved them and I would like to try them, but I'm funny about keeping my stuff original.

My phone seems to have washed out the colour and they're darker than the pictures.

They'd obviously look great in a natural guitar, but look nice with white and black too IMO - I've been hovering them over my stuff to see.

I had a Runaway in something (it was a long time ago) and loved it - I used a fair few Swinesheads.

Well, I'll be heading to the post office tomorrow to send some gear, should you like a new set

Would probably need a luthier like Crimson to make the bobbins today...
