Handmade pickups designed for hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.
The Sheptone 6T8 humbucker set is for players looking for that ideal pickup to match with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars. For many, that is the 68 T-Top in an ES-335. The 6T8 humbuckers are wound with a #42 poly wire and a long magnet instead of the original short magnet. Best of all, for those solid bodies that just seem to sound dead, no matter what you do to them, these will bring them back to life with no problem. Each pickup is built by hand with the material, attention to detail and time it takes to do it right. Resistance may vary from set to set since the winding process goes strictly by the number of turns of wire but DC resistances tend to be around 8.0k for the bridge and 7.6k for the neck.
