New: handmade Charlie Christian type pickup

Used for the first time in 2003 on the Slaman ES-150 model, this is an amazing sounding pickup handmade in the USA by Jason Lollar. Big, full, natural sound of the late thirties and forties. The pickup uses modern Alnico V magnets, big single coil and solid bar and delivers the sound without the terrible hum of the original Gibson pickup. Having trouble believing this? Check out the MP3 section on this site and you'll hear what I mean.
