Here's a quick vid I did taped to my washboard guitar. More vids on my page. If it sounds good on a washboard, well, you be the judge!

Thanks for the comments,

Wade

and   during  my    comparison  between teisco  and  the  lowriders  .  i   used an  empty  guitar  husk  .. and  taped   the   pups in the same  spot  .

couldn't  really  do  a vid  ,  my out of  date   Kodak  easy  share   has no  sound on  video  ..  and  pic scrolls   or  matching , woulda  been a  pain in the ass  .

hence  my  verbal  review

Wade's pick ups have a great tone! Not only do they sound great, they look very cool! they will be a unique addition to your current or future build, for that matter, due to their height install them on a already completed guitar.

Dig these. Thanks for the review. I checked out both your vid and the one at Reverb. Really like the sound.

Love the throaty sound of the swamp witch guitar I have. It might be a cool custom option to be able to choose between the two. Just an idea.....

I have a set of 1970 PAFs. Bought a set of Duncan's PAF's for another les paul guitar. Do they sound the same? Only when I turn the tone down a bit on the Duncans. It's hard to mimic the sound of rotting copper wire and disintegrating wax. Rot and tarnish = warm tone.... : ) Or just turn your tone down a bit. I said that to point out this. It's really hard to get the sound of an old pickup. Kudos for those who come close! Perhaps using a tone to cut the new edge off of these gold foils will allow them to come closer to the old sound.

cool  rat  .  ;-)   thanx   for   sharing  .  

as   for the witches  ..   they will stay as  the   signature   axe and sound  they  have   become  known  for  . 

the tribute was a just   one time custom.  ..just.for me    ;-D
