Description

Shane Speal, the King of the Cigar Box Guitar, says "These are my favorite pickups... bar none! They're the perfect mix of smooth 'molasses' blues tones of a humbucker and mean 'snarl' of a single coil." Choose either Chrome, Gold or the exclusive "Black Mamba" finish!

Choose either just the pickups (a pair of them, designed for neck and bridge mounting), or a fully pre-wired ready-to-install harness (a single pre-wired pickup + volume pot + output jack; the deluxe version also includes a Tone pot). Mounting screws and springs are included. The pickups are rated at ~12.55KOhm.

Here's blues man Larry McCray trying out a Highwood Guitars build by customer Jason Mills, which features the chrome version of one of these pickups:

The dimensions of the plated portion are 2.66L" x 1.10W" x 0.66" high. The distance between the screw holes is about 3.09". The core of the pickup is a ferrite magnet, otherwise known as ceramic.

As shown in the photos, these pickups come with springs and screws for mounting. We also have Stainless Steel and Hardwood mounting rings for these pickups. The pre-wired harness options give you a fully pre-wired no-solder harness ready to install, with volume control and output jack.

Watch Shane Speal, King of the Cigar Box Guitar, run this pickup through its paces...
