Re: Introducing The Little Little '59

Wow, this is gotta be the most elaborate April Fools joke ever.

You ACTUALLY built it AND went on to make a demo of it.

CheerS!

I suspect the pickup story on this day is an elaborate hoax to divert attention away from the fact that Seymour is now twelve feet tall.

Re: Introducing The Little Little '59

I totally fell for it. Not only was it here and the blog, but facebook as well. Just seemed like a regular SD posting. Now I don't feel so bad for not understanding the point of it. haha

So is this available through the custom shop?

Re: Introducing The Little Little '59

Ha ha ha! But I want that little S.O.B. for my banjo! Is it available for sale (seriously)?

My cats could use some of those for their small guitars...

You should drop the Custom Shop a line and see if they are willing to part with it or plan on keeping it. Either way, I know they could make another one.

A perfect pickup for Van Halen's Little Guitars... Seniorita Im in trouble again......

Re: Introducing The Little Little '59

I was so confused when Scott Olson came up to me late last week with that guitar in one hand and a video camera in the other. No clue that it was for an April Fools' joke until a minute or so before he started filming.

Sadly, it won't work with TC Electronic's new pedals with "string economy."

It hadn't occurred to me that they might sell the actual joke pickup. I was thinking a 4-pole version for banjo/mando. Hmmmmm....

Forget the Little 59, how about the BIG 59? How does it sound with an A8 magnet???

Re: Introducing The Little Little '59

Tbh I'd like one as a necklace. I'd also want the huge pickup for a coffee table.

Yeah, except you wouldn't want to put any electronics on it.

Very nice, I think that is one "mini-humbucker" after all
