NY Spectrum

$175.00 – $195.00

My version the New Yorker Spectrum pickup.

Disclaimer: I have been making this pickup for many years, but I did not advertise it because it is not a simple turnkey install.   The version I am selling here is specifically designed for the solid body Coronet, not the archtop models.

I have spent quite a bit of time working to make this a simple no mod install for the Epi USA Reissue Coronet.  If you go through the gallery pictures you can see the basic install process of removing the stock P90 and replacing the pickguard and fitting the NY pickup.  I went to the point of having a custom single ply white pickguard designed that will fit the USA Reissue Coronet and marry to my NY-Spectrum pickup.  If you want a different color pickguard you can go to WD pickguard are order one there as I have open sourced my design.

The nickel cover comes in either smooth top, or with exposed pole piece.

Pickup coil options:

• Vintage correct sidewinder coil which will fit in either cover option.
  • Sidewinder Average: is the average wind coil found on the vintage Coronet
  • Sidewinder High:  is the higher gain vintage spec
  • Sidewinder Low:  is on the lower end of vintage and is a little cleaner more fidelity
•  Humbucker options which only works with the smooth top cover.  Comes with 3 wire for coil tap
  • DA/DA : 2 Dearmond style goldfoil coils
  • GT/GT :  2 Guyatone style goldfoil coils
  • GT/GT :  1 of each coil  This is the most popular
• You can hear the DA/GT coil options here https://www.curtisnovak.com/shop/m-s-goldfoil-humbucker/
