Who makes good Gold Foils...
besides Curtis Novak?
I'm looking for a good gold foil neck pickup and am less than enthused about sending my money to the Mojave right now. Who else makes great sounding gold foil pickups? I know Mojo has a few, but they've also got an outstandingly long wait time. Anyone else that you can recommend? It's for a Tele project, but doesn't necessarily have to be Tele neck sized.

I'm interested in the lollar gold foils. The demos on youtube are really good and I think Novo uses them in their guitars if that provided any validation.

I'd go with Gemini pickups. They do foil pickups in numerous formats, wound to either Teisco, Guyatone, or DeArmond spec.

Re: Who makes good Gold Foils...
oooh... the price certainly is right. I was thinking a surface mount, along the lines of a Teisco or Zen-On, but I might just take the path of least resistance and get this in DeArmond spec, it would likely pair well with a WRHB: https://www.geminipickups.com/store/p17 ... dfoil.html#/ThePearDream wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 8:52 pmI'd go with Gemini pickups.

Re: Who makes good Gold Foils...
I bought a pair of "Victory" gold foils and they are really good. They are like the DeArmond "Hershey Bar" design (winding wrapped in a lacquered paper loop and then a bar magnet placed in the middle of the loop.)
The term "gold foil" is really kinda worthless though, a lot of construction designs under the foil.
I think the Teisco foils are sort of the ones people think of....iirc those have a strange design of a winding in a lacquered paper loop with poles placed in the middle and then the magnet off to the side of the winding.
