Here's a set of Handwound Legacy pickups I just finished. They are calibrated for a similar output to single-coil pickups available in the '50s.

Cool it's still used- I like the idea of the old equipment sticking around, for ex. I believe Seymour Duncan possesses at least one ex-Gibson wonder and uses it for some pickups.

Here she is, all done and ready to go. This beautiful Legacy in Blonde over Swamp Ash has a dark tinted satin neck finish that is smooth and fast.
Guitar Dock in Lenexa, Kansas will be taking delivery of this classy instrument. Make sure you stop by their store to check her out.
