BIGSMOKE PICKUPS

BIGSMOKE GUITARS has a smorgasbord of pickups available for sale. In every different configuration you can think of. The pickups range from single pole icons, on up to the six pole, 9k 0hm bronze bombers…

All our Bigsmoke Pickups are hand wound to any number you desire, or you can choose from the extensive range available according to the number of winds and ohms they read in at.

Bigsmoke pickups are made completely in the black wood of whenge or in the white/gold wood of American maple. Both exceptional tone carrying hardwoods.

All the magnets used in Bigsmoke Pickups are alnico5. In our humble opinion Alnico5 are the best magnets for musical instruments.

The pickup wire gauge is 42 AWG, ensuring a tight and compact wind.  Vintage cloth wire is used for the pickup connection wire to ensure authentic old school connectivity.

Of course Bigsmoke Pickups are potted…

Bigsmoke Pickups are wax potted using a mix of paraffin and beeswax. When we were wax potting the first batch of Bigsmoke Pickups we were inundated with bees wanting their beeswax back, so we now have a little offering of beeswax for the bees in another room so the team are not disturbed when potting…
