Description
Gold Foil-Style Soapbar Pickup – Vintage Vibe, Modern Fit
Love the magic of those gloriously oddball 50s/60s gold foil pickups but wish they’d drop straight into a soapbar route? Problem solved. This is my take on the classic DeArmond-inspired gold foil, reworked to fit a soapbar-sized housing—no vintage surgery required.
Inside, you’ll find a cloned ferrite magnet, capturing the punchy, slightly unruly character that made the originals so beloved. It’s hand-wound with 45 AWG wire, giving you that airy top end, rich midrange texture, and the kind of dynamic response that makes clean tones shimmer and overdriven sounds snarl in the best possible way.
The result? A pickup that delivers vintage gold foil sparkle with modern practicality—perfect for players who want character, clarity, and a bit of retro mischief in their tone.
