Vintage-style Lipstick-Tube Single-Coil Pickups - Choose Color & Pre-wired Options

These vintage-style "lipstick tube" pickups are a great addition to any guitar or cigar box guitar build. Mounting mounting hardware (springs and screws) included. These are rated at an impedance of 4.73KOhm by the manufacturer. These are higher-quality pickups from a factory we have a long history with, compared to what you might find for cheaper from other suppliers. The pre-wired harness option provides a fully pre-wired circuit with volume pot and output jack, ready to install in a build with no soldering. The "pickup only" option includes just the pickup itself, springs and screws.

The dimensions of these pickups are as follows:

• Plate size: 3 13/16" long by 9/16" wide.
• Pickup Cylinder size: 3 1/4" long by 5/8" wide.
• Total Height (Pickup + plate): ~15/16"
• Height of Pickup Cylinder above plate: 5/8"  
• Recommended opening size (if using a cover plate): 4" x 13/16"
• Recommended Opening Size (if not using a cover plate): 3 1/4" x 11/16"

PLEASE NOTE: These lipstick tube pickups are in the style of those used by the Danelectro company. They are supplied with springs and wood screws, and are meant to be mounted with the screws going down through the pickup plate, then through the spring, then into the wooden body of an electric guitar. These are not the suspended Telecaster/Strat-style pickups that hang from a pickup plate via a machine screw. Also, the mounting screw holes are spaced wider than those on a standard Telecaster/Strat-style single-coil pickup plate. Please be aware of this before ordering!
