Members thunder100 Posted November 13, 2010 Members Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hi Community Wanted to explain something different Yes BG-Pups have great tone.My newest set of cleartops-->no difference great.But I had annother problem. I like nice looking guitars I am not in roadworn.For me still it is an sexy object of Art. So I needed (mentally) black pickups while the cleartops(as the name says) are clear copper looking After some discussion with Bryan (cover-->no you cannot raise the pole pieces-->how to get black look-->plastic cover-->no is an embarrasment for the pickup) he said he will find an idea. The pickups arrived and look like this Bryan used the vintage black wire originally for repairs on PAF's And they sound greater(Probably MP3 compression then his soundsample on the homepage) Thanks Bryan from a happy customer Roland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wagdog Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 Bryan is a good dude. He helped me out when I was winding my own pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 Couldn't be happier with the help and support I got from Bryan when I purchased my tele pups and Pure 90's. I admire people who are so honest and dedicated at what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm partial to something like: theBriGade But I suppose we'll get the bg crowd together and have a poll or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quarter Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 Love the look of that black wire in the clear bobbins ... cool stuff! Bryan is great to work with and the dude has talent. When I got a wild hair for some 8 string Tele pups for a lap steel project, he gave me some pointers on bobbin building and then wound them up for me. Absolutely freaking killer tone, he nailed it first try. Here is a pic of the finished product and more info and pics of the steel here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jumpwin Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 Can (or does?) BG pickups make a pickup in the same vein as the S.D P-Rails? I've been gassing for a set of these in my 335. But the name on the unit means squat. I know that BG gets a lot of love from this forum. and cost providing, It'd be awesome to have a set of pups made just for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quarter Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 Thanks all, I am stoked on how it came out. I'll definitely do those pickups again, they are just too sweet not to.

I don't think Bryan is setup to do the custom bobbins that a P-Rail copy might need. If you could build or have the bobbins built, that may be another avenue. Or maybe some hybrid of his S90 and T-Rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
