Re: Needed- Red Cover Hot Stack..or Just Cover
These aren't for sale but is this what you were looking for? I got this weird yet amazing guitar for $100. It is fender body and hardware and 1960s sheckter neck and these pickups. I have been trying to find another set but not such luck...

Wow, those are original late 70's maybe early 80's stacks by the looks of them.
The newer late 80's models showed the ceramic blade pole peice showing thru a single slotted cover......indeed those are what Im after! It figures youd have a whole set and not have them for sale!! lol....My Precious..... Thanks for the pic, I havent seen many that old!!

Yeah man they are sooooooooooooooo (I could go on forever) sick! The best of luck in finding them. I had no idea they were rare or anything when I bought the guitar. It was just a really cool guitar and sounded great. I am going to take some closeups of the pickups...
The pickups are just amazing. It can got from great low end punch to great treble (but not shrill or anything).
I actually joined this forum to find info about the pickups because I had NO IDEA what was up with them and I really wanted another set. Do you have any links or information about these pickups because if you do it would be much appreciated!

that's a recording of me playing it live at this club called The Space with just a drummer. No effects other than the spring reverb and distortion that are built into the fender hotrod deville.

They sure do sound great in that bluesy style you do! I dont know much about these pickups either. What I do know is that the older ones do have a quite different tone than the new ones. and that the oldest of the hot stacks had the solid covers like yours. I had recently (foolishly) bid on a slightly newer version than yours (red slotted cover) on ebay, bidding went up to 165 bucks. It was rough looking, leads were tattered and short. So they are a desired model. The red color however is the dead giveaway to the older age, and the more desirable tones. The newer ones are black or white, and as the name suggests, quite hot! You have a great set of three there, hold on to them sir! I am envious!
Cheers!!
