Custom Hand Wound Pickups Crafted with Pride in the USA
Pickups available at Eastgrove Pickups
Eastgrove Legacy (custom shop) series pickups:
All Legacy series pickups come with gray bottom bobbins and the choice of the
following options.
Petros pickups--these have alnico 5 magnets on the wound strings with alnico 2
magnets on the bare strings. This helps to bring out the low frequencies to make it
more of a solid (rock) pickup. This reduces the “twang” and is good for rock, solid
blues, ska and any music that you want to feel substance instead of sounding like a
tele. Great combination with a Humbucker or alnico 5 bridge. Available stagger or
level.
Staggered pickups available in alnico 2, 5 or combination (Petros).
Level pickups available in alnico 2,3,5 or 2,5 Petros or 3,5 combinations.
All pickups available for neck/bridge or middle position.
Recommended sets (my personal choices)
For SSS guitars. Petros neck, alnico two middle and alnico 5 bridge.
For HSS recommended Petros neck and middle with nice quality high output Humbucker
in bridge.
Non-custom pickups:
These high quality pickups are made with the same quality parts as the Legacy
series, but the choices are more limited. The bobbins are standard black. Built
with Alnico 5 magnets with a choice of traditional staggered or level. These are
available in light (6 kohm) to strong (8+kohm) resistance.
All pickups, custom and non-custom are personally hand wound with a hand powered
winder by me, Pete. All pickups are potted with 20% beeswax/paraffin mix.
