Pickups
Burn Single Coil: pretty much the cheapest way to make a pickup. Does not sound real!
Wandré / Davoli Single Coil, as used by Buddy Miller. Clear, open sound. We reproduce it in various versions and different heights.
Double Blade: Seymour Duncan was the first with it.
Duesenberg Alnico Blade Single Coil. Sounds similar to the old Melody Maker pickups.
Duesenberg oval!
Seymour Duncan P-Rails: P-90 or Blade Single or both. Did not convince me.
English single coil, from whoever ...
Fender Humbucker: Good on the neck!
Framus Bill Lawrence "P-90". The Phillips screws always bothered me.
G&L Single Coil: also pretty much the cheapest way to make a pickup. Sounds very hard!
Gold Foil: This can't sound better because of the gold foil. Very questionable for me!
Guild Frantz "P-90": Clearer than a Gibson. For me a super aggregate!
Höfner Bass Pickup: Has proven itself.
Höfner Guitar Pickup: Has proven itself. Must be 2 coils in it!
very old Hoefner single coil
John Birch pickup
Kay "P-90": Installed in the Barney Kessel Hollows. Sounds very official!
Meazzi "P-90": Almost the same inner life. Only instead of screws a Block-Alnico-Magnet. Sounds amazingly good!
Mosrite "P-90": Ok, but again these cross recessed pole pieces ...
P-90 Dog Ear Pickup with black plastic cap - no questions!
P-90 Dog Ear Pickup with nickel plated metal cap - no questions!
P-90 Soapbar - no questions either! But it must not be wound too much on it!
Rockinger Domino: 1978 - the very first P-90 in humbucker format!
Duesenberg Domino: 1996 - with cap!
3 Duesenberg Pickups: Domino, 1 Strat bridge pickup in humbucker case and 1 Grand Vintage PAF
Duesenberg Single Twins: 2 bobbins diagonally offset. The P-90 model in humbucker housing. The other two in mini-HB-housing with Alnico bar magnets. Authentic sounds without hum!
Duesenberg D-TRON: Humbucker in grätscht direction!
Wandré Bikini pickup
P-90 Frantz
Gitter pickups
Duesenberg design samples ...
Duesenberg Split-King: the best humbucker ever. Split-King has the official Fender-Sound!
Schaller: Fox! A very flat jazz pickup, where the volume for each string can be adjusted by moving the pole pieces. Also respect!
Shadow: very old acoustic pickup with jack and potentiometer!
Wandré / Davoli Single Coil, as used by Freude Buddy Miller. Clear, open sound.
