pickups for air guitars

Has anyone built or have the pickup specs for an air guitar?

No details but I'm pretty sure they're noiseless.

Mine are wireless, no covers. I imagine I'll have a patent soon.

Here's a photo --->

Yep, I nearly bought them but they were wax potted and would have looked ridiculous.

Didn't DiMarzio take out a patent on those? Well, at least the dual invisible-coil ones. I suppose you could make your own if you ordered the zebra set from Stew-Mac, tossed the visible bobbin from each set and only used the invisible ones.

And... air guitars use pickups with air coils... and are played by air heads?

Glad we got that all aired out!

I made a set of Air PAF's and they were the sweetest PAF's I have ever heard. Possum would be proud of them

You could get this and copy it. I'm going to ask her if she has an air bass.

I was ready to bid and especially tempted by the free shipping but I'm just not comfortable buying from a seller with zero feedback.

Was that free airfreight or ground shipping?
