Lipstick

Ray · Jan 20, 2012

Hello
Where in this part of the world would I be able to buy a lipstick pickup? Any one. I dont know anything about them except that they are on Danelectros. If not locally, has anyone ever bought and from where did you order?

I want to put it in a wood resonator. I'm also going to try a tele bridge pickup.
Cheers - Ray

Proper lipsticks are not the same size as a normal single coil - the guitar has to be routed specifically for them and they mount direct to wood. They are also very low output and quite microphonic. I don't think anyone locally will have.

Jerry Jones makes the best versions for the purists. Curtis Novak, GFS and Kent Armstrong make standard Strat sized versions and GFS even has Tele bridge and humbucker versions (none of the GFS versions are very traditional sounding though).
