ShoBud Maverick Replacement Pickup
This pickup is the classic style steel guitar single coil with the same 3/16 inch alnico magnets and 42 awg wire as the original. The Maverick pickup looks like the same narrow mount pattern as used on other ShoBuds at a glance, however all the dimensions are smaller. My replacement pickup matches the Maverick dimensions exactly and is a drop in replacement.
I have made a few design improvements over the two plates glued to magnets construction manner as these were made in the past, specifically:
-The bobbin is 3D printed as one piece and does not rely on glue for structural integrity
-There is a full cover to protect the coil
-The coil is potted to reduce microphonics
These pickups will be wound to 13.5 K-ohms as standard, however I can wind the pickup to a resistance less than that if desired.
Steeltronics utilizes on demand 3D printing for key components, therefore normal production time is 4 weeks for most orders.
