Bluesboy JAG Hand Wound Pickups

Listen here: Check out example #1.  Example #2.

 

 

Each pickup includes wiring already soldered to the pickup. This includes a volume pot and guitar jack. No soldering needed. Installation manual included.

Made exclusively for Bluesboy JAG Electric Cigar Box Guitars for "Superior Tone".

These puppies are completely hand wound which means several hours of painstaking detailed work. Many people who
make thier own pickups use machines and they guide the wire and patiently monitor the process just in case it goes haywire.
I actually WIND MY OWN BY HAND! It takes a lot of patience and skill and a lot of trial and error to get it right,but some of us think it is worth it.

Machine wound pickups are set into an automated machine that guides and lays the wire.While these pickups may sound just fine to the untrained ear, he result is a somewhat uneven tone. My pickups have a much better tone for cigar box guitars, they add more mid range, giving the CBG a more even sound. CBG's are known to have a very treble tone, my pickups compensate for that.

In addition to that, many of my CBG's with my pickups installed have an excellent ZZTOP or Black Keys type of
humbucker tone (my pickups are not technically humbuckers but that's another discussion) which sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE
with a little tube distortion and a glass slide. Check out example #1.  Example #2.

I use very strong Alnico V andneodymium magnets that are the industry choice for electric guitar pickups, not cheap hobby shop magnets.

These pickups use industry standard copper wire and several thousand winds per bobbinfor that extra HOT tone, just what Bluesboy JAG CBG's demand. Warm, full tones for mellow guitar passages and STINGING 50's style hot overdrive for when you REALLY wanna knock 'em dead!

You can also purchase the pickups separately for $29.99 each plus $10 shipping.
