It's four years ago that I presented the first Flatpup guitar pickup. I wanted to recall the major steps and put it in an article at my site. Thanks for watching. And many, many thanks for having helped to let that baby grow!

Cool. I must have used them out of sequence.  I retrofitted #100 onto my second guitar.  There's one on a Darth Vader Guitar, two still unused Diddly Bugs, One DB on a 2-stringer, a 3 stringer that Clock has now and a 3 stringer on the wall that is being prepped for sale.  :)

The ones Dan makes are equally satisfying, and don't run as high a chance of getting swallowed by postal Nirvana since he is just down the road from me compared with Austria!

Here's the first ever flat pickup on a Sawzall resonator I mentioned.  World's first.  If that's notable.  :)

Eric,yep #100 in November. Before you got the first batch of pickups in August 2011, no.54 and 59. In total it were seven. Three were swallowed by postal Nirvana.

Dan, the first of your nine Flatpup pickups came in October 2011, no. 92.

My first one says 2011.  #100!  Whoop, whoop!

Thanks! Each one has a number and the date at the backside, I made a list to remember who got what and when ;-) The counter is set at 1340 at the moment
