Where the 225 pickups are built

[MartyGrass]

I am told that the 225 pickups are made in Nashville.  That surprised me because the ads imply they are built in Kalamazoo.  My source has been pretty reliable about what happens in Heritage.  So I'm asking if anyone has actually seen the building of pickups in Kalamazoo lately.  I have not found anyone who has yet.

Nashville I heard and they might move it up here.

My reliable source said the same.

Are these the same people that are winding the gold foils for Harmony?

Don't know, but I really like the Harmony gold foils.

I forgot the names of the individual harmony models, but on the very small one just one volume control, Harmony is calling them the P90 gold foil. I played one of those last weekend and I was blown away it sounded great.

I have a Rebel with dual humbuckers. Really tempted to buy a Comet and a Silhouette. Really well built guitars that sound great as is.

I have 2 Silhouettes for sale and I am impressed with the way they sound.

I love this clip especially when he digs in and it breaks up!

I thought Edwin Wilson designed the Harmony goldfoil pickups? Before he did the 225 humbuckers

That Harmony amp sounded pretty good too.  They have a 50 watt and 20 watt combo.  Don't see them advertised much.  Only a pdf on their website to describe them.

The 50 watt models just became available to order.
