I was talking to a fellow that put one of these in the neck of his jazz box. Creamery is a British company that has several pickups to choose from.
Has anyone ever heard/bought this specific pickup?
I'm surprised by the low DCR (in red below)
Creamery Custom, Modern & Alternative Design, Replacement Humbucker Pickups
Charlie Christian - Humbucker Size
Magnets Alnico 5
Coil Wire 38AWG
Lead Wire Vintage Cloth Covered with Separate Ground Wire
Neck Output 2.9k
Clear, defined, big, round jazzier sound.
Wound with much thicker coil wire to a seemingly lower output - don't let that fool you. With strong custom made Alnico 5 magnets the Charlie Christian Humbucker size is a fat, round jazzy sound that keeps clarity & string definition. Its a unique sound that works perfect in the neck position for those wanting vintage, jazzier sounds from a direct drop-in replacement Humbucker neck position pickup.
A single plated steel blade sits at the heart of the design inside a scatterwound coil of much thicker 38awg coil wire, and I experimented with a variety of magnet grades and sizes until finally working on a duo of custom made Alnico 5s to get the sound I was after.
Available in a custom chrome slit groove design cover, the new Dark Line pickups are direct drop-in replacements - I spent a long time getting the design of these just right, putting them aside, coming back to them - a real labour of love.
Made with a separate ground wire for the cover & baseplate to ensure it will work in-phase with other make bridge pickups.
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers
Dave
