Usually the timescale is still up at around 35-40 days as each pickup is custom made and I simply work through orders one-by-one - I am trying to get that back down.

    Humbucker Sized Filtertron Style Pickups

    After looking at modern variants of the old Filtertron style pickups, and wanting to design my own range of Humbucker sized Filtertron style pickups, I came up with these - introducing the Black Cat - Humbucker sized Filtertron style pickups. A reduced number of offset winds on each coil provide the extra brightness. The thicker Alnico 5 magnet helps keep the attack but being stronger due to their 1/4" height, the magnet boosts the output of the lower windings on each coil to give great volume & brightness. A real spank & twang to these Humbucker sized Filtertrons. The H-gate chrome covers give that 'retro' look.

    Currently, the brightest pickup in the whole Creamery range. The Humbucker sized Filtertron style bridge pickup is Jangly & bright, but designed to break up the amp at gain for a biting attack. My modern interpretation of the old classic Filtertron pickups of yesteryear in a standard humbucker size. 12 Pole screws for individual string balance give you the option to follow your neck radius and define your own tone. 

    The Neck pickup has a sweeter voice due to its position but still with the brightness needed from this kind of pickup.

    Overwound, Hot Humbucker Sized Filtertron Design Pickups

    A hotter, overwound version of the original Black Cat pickup. Still with the classic bright tone but with an added fatness with more in the mids.

    The neck pickup adds a sweet warmth to the brightness.
