Time and Cost for a Custom Shop Pickup?

[Aceman]

Pearly Gates, wound to 9k / 9.3k. Zebra. Nothing else special.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

I think the base price is 180.

I'm not sure about the lead time, but I doubt it would be any different than anyone else even if the pickup you're ordering is not fancy. I bet it's a bit more in depth for them than just overwinding a PG. I bet they might slightly tweak the recipee to make the best from overwinding the pickup.

That sounds like it would be a killer pickup, TBH.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

Says that the average lead time is 3-4 weeks.

Premier Guitar did a factory tour earlier this year
thye touched on the wait times for custom pickups

I want to say it was 6 to 8 weeks

But if its what you want , whats a little time

If only Steve Hollywood Dallas had made a name for himself...

 

[ehdwuld]

We may never have the Dalllasbucker

Not to be confused with the Dalibucker thats a different thang

 

[Aceman]

The Dallasbucker....I like it!

But The Steve Dallas Signature Dean Cadillac has a Custom Bridge and a regular PG neck (Which Steve prefers to an A2P when playing Sweet Child....)

I guess he maybe uses the Dallasbucker when recording.

Much like Anvil, he has not given up yet.

I actually wound myself a PG to 9.3k(?) when I was at Duncan. I love it in the Bridge. Just enough extra sportiness for whatever you want to do.

Bah - that's nothing.

Is there a reason it needs to be 9k? Because my understanding is the High Voltage set is a very near neighbor to the Pearly Gates set, but it's overwound in the bridge enough to make playing leads fluid and easy.

Don't know. Just love the PG, and just really like the slightly extra oomph. Takes out some thin-ness, smooth it a touch. Just works in the bridge.

Is it audible? With the gain I play with, likely not.

Nah, I bet it is, even if it's not night and day difference.

Didn't know you worked at Duncan! Cool!

Not an employee. User Group Forum Day at Duncan.

No - wound it during user group day. They let us do a "Floor shop custom" working with a winder. We got to wind our own pickups.

User Group Day = Something you will never experience. :sad:

nah, the High Voltage has less bass than the pearly gates. It's takes more of the '78 route, i guess

Aw, sounds like a good experience. I'd want a slightly underwound Blackened Black Winter with glossy bobbins, LOL.

And I've long maintained the 78 is like a Pearly Gates with the bass rolled off. Didn't say High Voltage was Pearly, just word from a reviewer who knows the person in the shop who wound them in the beginning is best could be said, it's a very close neighbor to a Pearly wind. But that's why I asked why 9k was an important factor, because I would think the resulting sound is more important than the resulting resistance.

that's interesting , I though they were closer, aren't they with comparable wound? (the 78 is a pickup that always interested me but I've never had a chance to hear it here in Italy)

 

[Aceman]

I want the bass.

But I get why the High Voltage and the 78 would have less of it, or you would want less in those.
