    Brobucker praise

    Who here still has the original forum pickup?

    I. didn’t get in on the group order, but I was able to send the OEM pickup from my Parker Fly Deluxe to MJ for her magical, tone adjustment.

    She had already rewound pickups for this guitar when my BIL had it. It was still a bit bright for my taste, so I asked if she’d rewind another one to Brobucker specs.

    Over time, that pickup has gotten warmer and richer sounding. I used this guitar again yesterday. It sounds amazingly good.

    Again, who else still plays the Brobucker? Report!

      Re: Brobucker praise

      I keep thinking about ordering a Brobucker. I have the Gibson 498T along with a Duncan 59n in my SG. The 498T is ALMOST what I am after, but it can be a tiny bit harsh and does not have the best clean tone. Right now, I am using it with an unoriented A5 magnet to shave off a little of that harsh high end, but that makes it a little less "open" sounding and rounds it off a hair too much. I get almost all of my pickups used online, so its killing me thinking about letting go of that much money for a custom shop model. I probably wouldn't regret it.

        I never tried my Brobucker in longer scale guitars like strat. In my Les Paul it was always like having not enough cut and agility. I sold it at the end of the day.
        The other mistake i made in these days was not swapping a Distortion and a Custom into a Les Paul. Listen and learn.

            The Brobucker is a nice PU, it really needs to be in regular production.

              Fantastic pickup in korina. Great in a Les Paul too.
              I've been meaning to have my extra JB rewound to Brobucker specs for use in a maple-capped DGT.

                I had one but after the original run. What a great pickup. Once I end up officially owning my buddy's Les Paul I've had for the last 5 years or so, I may just get one for the bridge slot.

                    Still enjoying the Brobucker.

                    OTOH, I have a Crazy 8 sitting in a box. I guess I should sell it.

                      I bought Gearjoner's Brobucker a few years back. The Brobucker one of several 'PAF' flavors that I will never get rid of. Almost want to have MJ make a custom neck pair for it.

                            been trying to find the right neck for mine. I bought a used original run on here and love it. Definitely a keeper.

                              Seth or Antiquity would work fine. Custom shop could make an exact matching EQ neck for it.
