While there were a handful of repairmen able to repair or build a replacement pickup in the 50’s and 60’s, it was Larry Dimarzio who is recognized as being the first aftermarket brand when he introduced his Super Distortion® humbucker in 1971.

It is definitely Spring. I can tell because you all are ordering up pickups to get you through the upcoming tours.  I appreciate you letting me and the pickups be a part of your tone. I obviously think this set is the best set in the industry (I’m bias).  But if I didn’t think it was, I wouldn’t make it. In fact, I offer 100% satisfaction and a lifetime warranty on all manufacturers defects. If you got a plank of wood in need of a tone upgrade ,click on over and give these a try.

After the original bridge humbucker died, Jimmy dropped in an original Gibson T-top humbucker and kept the original patent applied for humbucker in the neck position.

The Cherry Burst Gibson Les Paul  that Duane used on “At Fillmore East” had a set of Gibson humbuckers that both measured in the low 7’s. This set was originally in a Gold Top he used when he tracked the slide guitar parts on “Layla” by Eric Clapton. I make an “off the menu” set call LoLo’s that match these.  Message me if you want me to build them for you. The dark burst Gibson Les paul he purchased in 1971 had a 8.3 in the neck and an 8.7 in the bridge.  Again, I have an “off the menu” set I can build for you.  Just message me.

Thank you. I appreciate that. But I do tend to agree with you.  And it comes down to the tension on the wire when us builders wind the coil. You take any of us builders, and if we were to use the same exact components and build a humbucker, they will still sound different and that difference is from the tension. The tension is where the magic is hidden.
