I recently discovered (and installed) Stonewall pickups who is taking a slightly different approach to making a humbuckers (larger bobbins so the overall wound section of the pickup is the size of a traditional covered humbucker) which got me thinking: who else am I missing?
So, do you have another option that goes a bit off the beaten path?
In this particular case I installed an Epic XFR in the bridge of a balaguer growler 27” baritone (and a fralin big single 42 in the neck). I still need to dial in pickup height a bit, but early returns are very favorable to me. The amount of clarity I am getting is impressive. It’s almost single coil like while still being very full…output feels a bit lower than the specs would lead you to believe (hence the pickup height comment), but on the extended range of a baritone with a fair amount of gain it is very much a great match. Planning to drop a few more of these offerings into some of my more standard fiddles
