Flat Black Pickups style

[PitchShifter]

Does anyone other than EMG make a flat plain humbucker in the same style as seen on this Ibanez?

im not too sure... but i do know that there are some sellers on ebay that sell plastic black covers that you would be able to stick on just like you would a single coil cover... ill grab you the sellers tomorrow

 

[PitchShifter]

Excellent, now that would be a much better solution. Cheers!

My Bartonlini pickups were black and they sound great if you like a real full fat sound.  And they were cheaper than the Duncan Parallel Axis that I was looking at if you go to pickupcentral.com.

Bare Knuckle Pickups now has the option of cover without pole...  not only in black...

all right, here we are:

these ones are metal, so you'll get a little change in tone, just like you would get with any gold or nickel covered pickup

I think the SD Blackouts are flat black-topped, but they are also active...  not sure if that's what you're looking for

 

[PitchShifter]

Thanks a lot guys, there's some good leads for me to follow up!

And that spalted maple strat is incredible.  I wouldn't be able to bring myself to actually play something that nice looking!

 

[PitchShifter]

Here's some closure..thanks for all that helped.

WOW!!!!!!
Later we need a review & soe clips!  :icon_biggrin:

 

[kataar]

yeah, especially with the VHII! Ive been looking for some good clips cause Ive been considering those babies. you better make 'em good!  :evil4:

Bare knuckles...those look more like brass knuckles painted black!  I like 'em!

...and +1 on the spalted strat.  That partially spalted flamed maple is very cool.
