Holy smokes this was a long time in production. My version of the famed DeArmond 1200 style Soundhole pickup. I have a number of my usual custom options/upgrades

I offer 3 main coil types

Vintage spec DeArmond 1200 coil
Hot DeArmond Coil: powerful, dirty, P90-like tone
GT Coil: powerful, clean, Fender-like bell tone

I offer 250k and 500k vol pots. Please do not ask me which one sound better, it is personal taste. In general 250k is slightly darker than 500k.

I use Mogami W2319 Guitar Instrument Cable. 1.5′ with a raw end is included with the pickup. You can also purchase a custom length cable, by the foot.

Cable end options are.

A raw end to attach to your end pin jack
A SquarePlug Compact Short Straight 1/4″ plug
A Neutrik Rean In-Line 1/4″ Female Mono Jack

"I didn't even want to say because I love them so much that I don't want everyone to have em..! For musical feedback its up in the wizard area!"

Marc Ford - (The Black Crowes, The Magpie Salute)

"I asked curtis to come up with a lipstick for the middle and a stealth neck humbucker for my missingmen guitarman tom watson's jazzmaster. both are beautiful buttloads of sonic giving more vocabulary to express himself - we both bow big time in curtis' direction."

on bass, Watt

"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!"

Tal Bachman

"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!"
