Since 2000. Find out why this one is King! Read the reviews at Harmony Central. Sweet creamy vintage 50's style pickup without the squeeling. Ideal for jazz/ blues or classic rock sounds. Available with nickel/ gold covers or uncovered. Also available with the Marc Ford option. Specially voiced just like Marc's pickups with Alnico 2 magnets. If you back off the volume it sounds like a single coil. The black 335 is my guitar with standard alnico 5 Tombuckers. The Les Paul stuff is the Marc Ford alnico 2 Model. Covered or uncovered. If you want zebra bobbins on the bridge and a Nickel cover at the neck just send me an email and I'll do it for you.
