- These are brand new model T-198 genuine Collins Creekwood custom hand wound vintage pickup set with some modern touches and made from the finest materials
- Creekwood
is modeled after the late '60's single coil pickups with vintage stagger .187 Alnico 5 magnets oriented S-N-S spec and calibrated for strength much like the Blues Raiders but more overwinding
These pickups are overwound progressively 7.5% to bridge for balance
So what is progressive overwinding? The neck pickup in modeled sets are wound to period specs and additional windings are added in percentages to middle and bridge to raise the midrange and output and to maintain balance when switching between pickups
High quality Flamed Maple top with a Urethane finish for a classy look with period correct gray .093 bottoms
Made in the U.S.A. hand wound in Texas in my own shop

The sandcast alnico 5 magnets were sealed before winding in my own resin formula to prevent magnet to wire failure
