Must be big margins in pickups cause that's one hell of a long list of companies especially when you consider most guitars come with either Dimarzios or Duncans.
 
Yeah I now have pickup OCD but I won't rest until MY list is the authority. ;)
 
As Suhr is on the list, I miss Anderson.
Anyhow great work - need to get some new bodies to make use of that list :lol: :LOL:
 
this is a serious list!

is there a way to group some of these builders into some categories/tones where members can add their opinions on how the characteristics are different!??!?
 
KxK guitars (http://kxkguitars.com/) is hand scatter winding pups these days and they're available for purchase. He's got a pretty cool looking set with pale moon ebony bobbins up currently IIRC

Also there is a complete misconception when people talk about Kent Armstrong pickups, the name Armstrong can refer to either:

-Kent Armstrong production pickups available through WD music products http://www.kentarmstrong.com/pages/products.html
-Armstrong pickups handmade by his son Aaron in the UK http://www.armstrongpickups.co.uk/
-Kent Armstrong handmade pickups handmade in Vermont by the man himself which are the ones I am using on my instruments (just to give an exemple...)


and just to clarify about why you see WD written everywhere, thats simply because Kent is the owner of WD music products... :)
