Custard Pie Humbucker

Custard Pie Humbucker

$268.00 $373.00

There is just so much going on in this pickup. It’s versatility is unmatched.

I took the concept of what is behind my Heartbreaker pickup and made some small tweaks to accommodate a friend, Tony Pasko. Tony is a guitarist/composer with a resume a mile long. You’ve been hearing this pickup for years on TV shows such as Duck Dynasty, The Wahlburgers, Wicked Tuna, and much more courtesy of his work. He needed a pickup that will still sound huge once it's compressed to near death and eventually comes through your television set. BUT also needed it to sound huge and articulate when he plays live on stage. What we ended up with is something I think might be the best 53mm humbucker on the market. While Jimmy Page tones can be hinted at with this one, there is so much more. Try splitting it to single coil. It sounds amazing. It’s the closest you will ever be to a single coil tone without it actually being a single coil. It has dynamics, too. You can hammer out big ballsy chords or just shred to your heart’s desire. And she cleans up nicely!

No matter how you cut it, this Custard Pie gives you a slice of heaven every single time you plug in.

Specs:

  • 53mm spacing
  • German Silver Nickel base plate
  • Short legs
  • Maple spacer bar
  • 4-wire lead
  • 42 AWG Plain Enamel wire for the coils
  • The pickup is built to a specific number of winds. However, the resistance tends to measure around 9 Kohms
  • Please allow four weeks for delivery as each order is handcrafted at the time of order.

Hands Down, The Best Pickups I've Played!

As a boutique custom shop builder, I have tried a very wide variety of pickups in my hand crafted electric guitars. Sheptone has set the bar extremely high when it comes to pickups. They have become my first choice for pickups in my custom builds here at Red Hand Customs. The Custard Pie humbucker has that true authentic tone that larger than life, compressed with tones of clarity. The breakup is the tone you hear in your head. These pickups sound AMAZING, even through the cheapest of cheap amps. Sheptone Pickups made me a true believer. I sincerely do not think I will use anything else.

I greatly appreciate you taking the recommendation from Tony. I look forward to building more for you. Thank you
