Based on vintage foils, the pickups aim to capture the character of the originals.

Nashville, TN (July 4, 2015) -- Schuyler Dean Pickups has unveiled a new pickup model based on vintage gold foils. Dean’s Gold Foils were designed to capture the character of the originals and come at an affordable price. At $90 each they are completely handmade and come mounted in a standard humbucker-size body to fit in a wide variety of guitars.

Using 44 gauge wire, the coils are scatterwound around bar magnets mounted perpendicular to the strings. The tone is true single coil; warm, yet twangy and clear. Sets are wound slightly hotter in the bridge position for balanced volume when switching between pickups.

A switchable output pickup that can sound like a Filter’Tron or a PAF humbucker.

San Francisco, CA (March 10, 2015) -- Schuyler Dean Pickups has unveiled a new pickup model called the Raybucker. This is a switchable output pickup that can sound like a Filter’Tron or a PAF humbucker. Using a push/pull potentiometer you can access either of these legendary tones from any guitar with a standard humbucker rout.

The neck position is vintage ‘50s output and the bridge position is slightly overwound for better volume balance between pickups. A unique cover was designed that uses elements from both classic pickups and is available in chrome, nickel, gold, or unplated.
