SOLD - Pickups - Rio Grande Tallboy Humbucker £75 Shipped (more pickups to follow)

Bennyboy-UK

Hi all,

Rio Grande Tallboy Humbucker in excellent condition.

Asking £90 PPG shipped - Trade or PX possible.

These are unusual to find in the UK and this pickup is quite interesting in character.

Centre/Centre measurement between the outside pole pieces is 52.2mm - F-Spacing.

Two rows of slug poles - you'll see why below....

44cm of cable. 4 conductor wiring.

Includes mounting screws and springs.

US Price new $160 + Shipping $20, plus UK Duty and VAT (approx on total @ 25%) total $225 which would be about £180 landed in the UK?

This is a humbucker which splits beautiful to give truly excellent single coil tones.

In Rio Grandes words:

https://www.riograndepickups.com/tallboy-2

" A true humbucking for people who will not compromise on the "single coil" mode of a standard humbucking type pickup. Fits a conventional humbucking cavity but when split to one coil give you the sound of a "true" single coil.
Why? ... because it is! This feature when combined with a middle position single coil gives you the ultimate "quack" tone in the #2 position of you 5-way switch. Sound fantastic in the full humbucking mode too! A greater harmonic range than a regular bucker. Imagine the natural response of the perfect single coil buckerized."


Well, there you have it - it does what they claim and is the perfect pickup for the bridge position in an HSS with authentic SSS tones as well on, ahem...tap.

Time for me to, erm split...

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine this weekend

Swift bump for an unusual pickup to try out.

Down to £75 shipped, to shift it or I’ll keep hold of it for a project.

Cheers all,
Ben.
