For the past month or so, I've been emailing brother Declan Larkin from Deacci about some custom pickups. Medium hot humbuckers voiced for clarity, articulation, while at the same time being muscular, and tremendously versatile - able to seamlessly go from clean to filthy without skipping a beat.
Declan and I threw some ideas around, he did a bunch of experimenting with different winds, different wire gauges and insulations, polepiece lengths and such. And I think we basically have a prototype finalized now. These are most likely going to replace the current Macha model in Declan's "Pure Power" series.
I just put in my order for a neck and bridge set for my Showmaster, as well as a solitary bridge for my Polaris.
Bridge is about 12.3k, neck is 9.1k. Different gauge wires on the slug/screw coils, different insulation types too. Short fillister screws I believe. And A5 magnets.
I am excited. These are my first totally custom pickups, ever! I'mma have to do a review when I get them in and installed.
