Boutique humbucker sets: McInturff, Belman new price - $95 (Seattle)
QR Code Link to This Post
Tony Bell (Belman) was a still beloved high end (hand made) builder in Australia whose guitars competed there with PRS from 1994 - 2007. In the last few years, they also offered their pickups separately, particularly the vintage style humbuckers in both classic format and with a harder, more modern edge.
This set has a higher wind on the bridge pickup. 7.3k and 16.2k Chrome covers This was the typical setup for his builds.
$95 for the pair.
The second set came from a guitar built by Terry McInturff. Before 2003, many of the pickups were supplied by DiMarzio.
He also sourced from Seymour Duncan, Jason Lollar and Peter Florence (VooDoo). These look more like DiMarzio than the others on that list, but there are no manufacturer marks that I can find.
They are classic PAF style pickups with no covers. 8.1k and 8.2k
The leads are short.
$85 for the pair
If you are looking to upgrade the pickups in something like an Epiphone Les Paul, here are two tone styles to choose from at a very affordable price vs the quality of the pickup you are getting.
