Tal Farlow's 3rd Pickup

[Aoresteen]

Over on the re-ranch forums we have a thread on Tal Farlow's 3rd prickup that is next to his neck pickup.


Here's the thread:

Here's the guitar:



Anyone know who made the 3rd pickup and how it is wired in?

Thanks!

Can't see it close, or good enough.
Can you get a good closeup with the camera set on Macro.
Thanks,

Sorry, not my picture and I have no access to the guitar

Thes are the best pics that have surfaced thus far.

Thanks!

It looks like a single Humbucker Screw Bobbin in a small Metal Surround type cover.
Is that how it looks to you?
Or it may be a single Coil bobbin with rod Magnets.
Wish we could get a closer look.

Looks like a Silvertone/Teisco/kay single coil to me

Copper I think you are Correct.
Still looks like a single Bucker Bobbin.
I could tell you more if I could Tear the Hell out of it!

You can see it better here:



Looks like one of those pickups you would find on a Silvertone/Teisco. Similar to these.

This is pretty cool.

Why is it in the "Beginner's Corner?"
