Hmmm....something I never thought I'd see, even today. : ) I wonder when the last time Alembic factory installed an "Old Les Paul' pickup. Kris | ||

The large head stock template looks like Irwin's head. I think these were Irwin's template. Eiji | ||

The shipping restrictions are weird (local pickup only, unless you want to deal with the UPS store, in which case they will drop off the items @ UPS). Almost sounds like they don't want to dircetly ship across state lines... | ||

There is a template for a "HI-A" Bass pickup shown. I own a Bass that Doug Irwin installed a pair of Hi-A bass pickups into. Hi-A later became known as Bartolini. Doug Irwin worked on two projects for me in the 1970's. I still own one of them. I remember when he lent me one of his "Doug Irwin Bass's" to try out at a gig.That Bass had two Hi-A" pickups in it that very well MIGHT have been routed out with the template shown. Maybe ! I Remember Doug to be quite a generous craftsman. I remember him in a positive light. | ||

I just put an old Hi-A guitar pickup on my 76 Ibanez Howard Roberts jazz box this week. It came out of an custom guitar I bought last year. It sounds fine, I must say. I don't think I'll be seeing too many of them. Puts out around 6.3 ohms. Dave |
