EVIL SHEEP® HAND WOUND PICKUPS SUITABLE FOR STRATOCASTER® AND
TELECASTER® TYPE GUITARS
Evil Sheep pickups have been shipped to customers in over 20 countries
worldwide, and are hand scatter-wound using the
best quality traditional components. I also use a potting technique which increases
pickup dynamics.
I make Vintage reproductions and also some modern variations using mixed
magnet types and coil wires.
If you want a custom set of pickups made to your specs, we can usually
do this at similar prices. Just contact us to discuss your ideas.
We ship worldwide using Royal Mail small parcel delivery (e.g. £4.74 to
UK, £19.50 to USA)
See price list below, and photograph gallery at foot of webpage: Lots
more photographs if you open one.....
Prices below are in £GBP and do not include shipping or plastic pickup
covers. You will need a set of covers with 52mm low to high E centres.

the rationale for this:

I can also make left hand versions and
replicas of most pickups to order if you let me know what you want, usually at
these same prices.
When you order let me know which set you would like and whether you want the
middle pickup rw/rp. Also let me know if they are for a left handed
player.
TELE-TYPE SETS”: Telecaster type pickups with heavy
gauge baseplate(1.8mm/0.07”) and silver neck pickup cover and flat poles. If
you want a special neck pickup cover (eg gold, nickel, or open top) just
contact me and I can let you know how much extra (if anything) it will cost.
Choose from:
“Smokestack Sheep”: Retains high end but with thicker
mids. Can be fine-tuned using your guitar’s tone and vol. controls. Made with
Alnico 5 mags. Bridge awg 42, 7.9k Neck, awg 43,
6.8k
£119 UK plus shipping
“Honky Tonk Sheep”: Adaptable set for classic
rock/pop/blues, but turn the volume down/roll the tone off and they’ll do most
things including Jazz. They are a Broadcaster type bridge, but with mix
of Aln5&2 mags to smooth off high end for that classic “Keef” tone, whilst
the neck uses Alnico 5 mags and heavier awg42 wire to produce a Strat-type
sound for clean rhythm parts and gained lead. Bridge: Awg43 wire,
10.5k Neck: Awg42 wire, 5.6k
£119 UK plus shipping
“Evil Sheep 5225”: They are the same as the
HonkyTonk Sheep, but with a mix of Aln5&2 mags on both pickups (5/2
on the bridge, and 2/5 on the neck). Supplied rw/rp as standard. Bridge:
Awg43 wire, 10.5k Neck: Awg42 wire, 5.6k
£119 UK plus shipping
You can also mix and match the bridge and neck units from these two
sets, and I can make T-Type sets to your specs if you have a special sound in
mind. All DC resistances are +/- 10%. ------------------------------ Fender®,
