Airline pickups

[Colin McCubbin]

At last a replacement for the pu's used on 50s and 60s National, Supro and Airline guitars.

I haven't seen one yet, but if anyone needs one here's the link.

Now all they need to do is to silk screen them so they look the same...

If anyone tries a one please post here and let us know how they sound.

THIS IS THE BLURB FROM THEIR WEBSITE:

AIRLINE Vintage Voiced Single Coil Pickup
Have you ever wondered what makes those old AIRLINE guitars sound so wicked? How can a Humbucker sound like that? Well, it can't. The original VALCO pickups were SINGLE COIL, not Humbuckers. They looked like a Humbucker, but that is where the similarity ends. The VALCO pickups were found in all AIRLINE, SUPRO and National Guitars in the late fifties and early sixties. We dissected the originals and have now re-created that famous tone in a new SINGLE COIL design that is housed in a Humbucker format. These are made specifically to replace your Humbuckers and give you that oh-so-nasty growl that is familiar from the likes of Jack White, Hound Dog Taylor, J.B. Hutto and Jimmy Reed.
At only $79 each, how can you go wrong?

They do look good. I would be interested to try one. I might have to get one and try it. I always have liked the sound of those pickups, but the guitars were never that great.

Shine On,
Michael.
