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
 
There are only a few ways to wrap wire around a magnet. They have all been tried by now. The traditional methods yielded the results that appealed to the vast audience, at this point, “new (retread) concepts” are to appeal to niche audiences.

If you put sautéed mushrooms and bbq sauce on a burger, you haven’t reinvented the burger, nor will you take over the industry.
