DSV = Double Screw Vintage
Suhr's classic humbuckers, but with adjustable polepieces in both bobbins. 50mm pole spacing on neck pickups, 50mm or 53mm spacing on bridge pickups. The DSV+ bridge pickup is a hotter version of the DSV.
Acme stocks Suhr's exposed-coil humbuckers with two screw coils (DSV), in black, white, and zebra. We stock Suhr's covered humbuckers with one screw coil and one slug coil (SSV) in chrome and gold. All neck pickups are 50mm spacing. All bridge pickups are available in either 50mm (Gibson) spacing, or 53mm (Fender) spacing, with the exception of white bridges, which we only stock in 53mm. Other options available by special order. more information »

SKU: GS20343
More power, longer sustain, and faster grind than Fralin's normal humbuckers. Wound with smaller 43 gauge wire (42 gauge is normal) from 12.5K to 13.5K with Alnico 4 magnets. The smaller wire allows more turns to fit on the bobbin, increasing the output another 5-10% over stock. Don't be confused by the numbers, a jump from 8K to 12K doesn’t indicate a 50% increase in output - the smaller wire of the 12K pickup has a higher resistance per foot, so the numbers get skewed. These are a notch up from Fralin's normal PAFs, they will push the amp harder, but they're not super-overwound like some of the offerings from Duncan and DiMarzio.
Vintage Guitar Magazine compared Lindy's humbuckers to Tom Holmes humbuckers and Gibson PAFs (both old and new - '63 humbuckers; '78 reissue PAFs; and '57 Classic and Classic Plus PAFs), and had this to say:
"All of these pickups are pretty cool, and each has it's own personality. The old Gibsons were great for reference, but believe it or not the panel preferred most of the new pickups to the old ones. This may sound unbelievable, but the opinions of the panel were very consistent and differences in the pickups were very substantial. This is what we heard..."
"Grand Prize: Lindy Fralin PAF in a unanimous decision. This pickup had the most output, most character, and most pleasant compression. It has smooth response and great overdriven tones. Biggest and smoothest, hands down. This was the obvious favorite. Double fat!"
As with all pickups, more turns of wire gives more power, thicker mids, and less highs. When ordering a set, we recommend a stronger bridge pickup (for instance, 12.5K neck / 13.5K bridge).
All models are designed to be hum-canceling when the tapped humbucker is combined with a Strat RWRP middle (Single-Single-Hum or Hum-Single-Hum). We order all our Fralin humbuckers with 4-conductor leads so they can be tapped.
Available in black, zebra, or with nickel or gold covers. more information »

SKU: GS20454
Based on a 1956 LP Goldtop that is owned by a friend of Jason Lollar. Underwound version of Lollar's soapbars, with magnet strength reduced. Cleaner tone at any volume, decreased lows and mids, less growl. Scatter wound for extended frequency response. Alnico 5 magnets provide wide dynamic range, and increase the amp's tonal response to picking pressure. These may be a good choice for the player who tends to lean more toward single-coils than humbuckers, and who may find traditional P-90s to be a little bigger and fuller than they prefer. Our own Brian Reuschling has a 3-pickup set in a Reverend Jetstream 390 (cool guitar!), and finds that in this guitar the bridge is very Tele-like, with the other four positions sounding like a beefed-up Strat. (This is a bolt-on neck guitar, with some aspects of its construction being more similar to a Strat than a Les Paul, so these observations may not apply so much if you're looking for pickups for your Les Paul or SG.) RWRP for hum-canceling when combined. Available with black or cream pickup covers. 3-piece set available, with RWRP middle for hum-canceling in combination positions. more information »

Redesigned to sound just like the original, the Fender Nocaster pickup is true to its heritage. The flush mounted Alnico 3 magnets, enamel coated magnet wire and a zinc shielding plate help to recreate the real deal with great Tele twang and smooth midrange that only the famous Fender Custom Shop can reproduce.
The neck pickup is the perfect companion to the 'Nocaster' bridge pickup with its nickel-silver cover and classic warmth. OEM on many Custom Shop Nocasters and Telecasters. more information »
