ABSTRACT:
A magnetic pickup for musical instruments, more particularly, for stringed instruments such as an electric guitar. A plurality of individual pickups are housed in a plastic cover. Each pickup comprises a pole piece made of a ferromagnetic material which pole piece is substantially surrounded by a coil. Each coil is disposed inside a polarized permanent magnet cup and the pole pieces are arranged in a humbucking configuration. One end of each pole piece is physically connected to an alloy bar or strip wherein the bar is separated into two pieces by an air gap. The alloy bar at the top of the assembly is preferably exposed to the strings of the instrument via a slot in the top of the plastic cover.
