Pickups by Type / Gold Foil

Gold Foil Pickups

The distinct, transparent response of Gold Foil pickups comes from their unconventional internal architecture. Originally found in mid-century Japanese and European catalogue guitars, our Boutique Gold Foil Pickups replicate the rubberized ferrite magnets and low-resistance coils that define their signature chime and touch-sensitive clarity. Unlike traditional single-coils, these designs retain harmonic transparency even under heavy saturation.

Our range includes historically accurate reproductions and modern adaptations in Humbucker-sized, Strat-sized, and surface-mount formats from specialist winders such as Mojo Pickups. These builds emphasize correct low-carbon steel covers, proper internal spacing, and period-informed construction to achieve the woody percussive attack and lightly microphonic character associated with vintage units from Teisco and DeArmond.

All pickups listed are physically in stock and dispatched from Vilnius, Lithuania. No import VAT within the European Union.
