P-13

$175.00

There were a few different versions of this pickup. Most you see for sale were removed from lapsteels, so the pole spacing is way too wide (57mm) for guitar. The other common one has no pole pieces. The no pole piece version has a completely different, non P-90 type tone. It is much cleaner, not bad, just different. My version is the guitar version and has 50mm string spacing.

Unlike the original I am also making a soapbar version. It has the same footprint as a standard P-90; however, it just has less rounded edges so there might possibly be some fit issues depending on your pickup route and the thickness of its finish. It has fit in every soapbar route I have access to.

If you are planning on using this with some other pickup, I suggest that you get the neoprene 2 wire with an independent ground so you can wire it in either direction to be in phase.

Traditionally this pickups has dogear style mounting ears, I am making a custom version that will mount in a soapbar route. Choose which you prefer. The Dogear will require a ring or a pickguard.

The dogear version will require either a pickup ring or a pickguard route to mount the pickup.

"Last night, onstage with my dad (Randy Bachman, from BTO) in Saint Paul, Minnesota, I had my first opportunity to plug in Excalibur with Curtis's pickup inside. I do not say this lightly, but I was amazed and thrilled. So was the whole band... What I like most of all is that there is a certain 'airiness', a certain 'liveliness', there which is just awesome. This pickup has legitimately hit the sweet spot between 'hot rod excitement' and musicality. It's staying in the SG forever. Thanks, Curtis!"

"Using this pickup in my Fender it feels like every element of the tone is simply there -- clear, well-defined low end, robust mids and highs that have a wonderfully smooth presence -- all unhindered, immediate and full. Thanks Curtis for building my dream Precision pickup!"
