I bet we can figure out how big this guitar is. If a normal pickup weighs about 7oz, and this pickup weighs 156lb (that's 2496oz). that means that the pickup weighs 356X as much as a regular sized one. Let's assume a weight scale factor of four (since it's big, things need to be much stronger), so that takes us down to 90X as big. If a guitar was scaled the same, that means that it would have a scale length of 187ft! That's about 2/3 of a soccer pitch isn't it? Dang that's a big guitar!

Re: World's Largest Pickup

I believe the guitar that the pickup was installed in is over 30' high.

That's even too big for Scott_F.
