Members SmoothJK Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 Not sure if any of you remembers, but a while back, the UPS man brought me a broken Hagstrom Select Ultra with the proprietary Custom 58 pickups. I complained to the seller on eBay, and he was nice enough to send me a brand new one, upgraded with Seymour Duncans. I was going to ship back the broken guitar to him with a shipping label he promised to send, but he never did. I've spoken to him on the phone twice and tried contacting him through eBay but he didn't respond. Basically, I gave up and decided to strip the broken guitar for spare parts. So yea, I have these pickups laying around and I was wondering if they might be good for a project guitar or even to sell (probably not). Does anyone know anything about these? Are they hot/warm/vintage/good/bad? Long shot, but I'm often surprised at what HCEG people know sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ballhawk Posted September 1, 2011 Members Share Posted September 1, 2011 I own a hagstrom viking with the custom 58's. They are not hot. I suppose vintage-like is the closest description. There are some youtube clips which showcase these pups. Check them out. I think your pups would work very well in a project. I like the sound of mine. BTW - some longshots pay off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PunkKitty Posted September 1, 2011 Members Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've tried them a few times. Vintage alnico humbuckers that sound better than many stock pickups. I'd use them in a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
