Me & the 3 amigos.

Yes, they are making their version of a staple pickup. Square Alnico magnets, P90 size. The head winder was showing a couple of us how he is making them. That guy is like a chef in the kitchen when it comes to pickups!

Yeah, you were so much older then, you're younger than that now!!!! 😁

This is my Roy Clark. It's the size of a 535 with a deep single cutaway and a bit more bling.

This was from the 2018 tour. It's the same rope method we was this year.

Jason sent this concept. In MOP

Some of the inside baseball from PSP is they will soon be selling their pickups. Didn't get a specific time frame other than soon.

Chris, did you say Staple? No way!

I'm excited: Heritage is making their own staple P90's in house now

My first Heritage was a blonde 576. It was a great guitar that lent itself to just about any style of music. Gigged it a bunch. Ultimately put a set of Duncan Phat Cats in it, a terrific marriage. I'll always have a soft spot for that guitar! And yikes, haven't seen this picture in ages. Must be from close to twenty years ago....

Heritage began with an arrangement with Schaller for pickups and hardware. I assume they got some discount for bulk purchases. But there were some complaints about the pickups, not the engineering but the tones. Decades later, I believe that they are pretty decent and have more options for adjusting the heights. I think that many had a prejudice against them or simply wanted to personalize their guitar with the pickups of their choice, often expensive ones. Nowadays I don't hear as many complaints. Of course everyone can have an opinion. Here's a comparison with Seths v. Schallers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mURVofPTnY
