EZPZ Gold Foil Surface Mount Pickups
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2016 9:07 pm
I picked up a couple EZPZ pickups off the 'bay partly because I want to mount stuff in a Ric that shouldn't ever be in there like odd pickups & string drivers & just buying a normal toaster cover by itself is $20 more. I have a Guyatone Gold Foil that I had intended to mount in a toaster although I really didn't want to wax pot anything in the first place-hence another reason for buying these things.
They are advertised as "gold foils" so I figured it was some sort of Teisco-esque single coil stuck in a toaster cover. It turns out to be a 2 wire humbucker like from a copy. Hmmmm. I really should know the drill by now...ask the seller first. They are certainly surface mount...get some double sided foam tape & you could stick a "fauxster" anywhere you want! The gold "foil" is in reality expanded metal which I'm calling a bonus. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt & stick one at the neck of a 330...where I wanted to use a real gold foil anyhow. I don't expect too much Hound Dog Taylor out of this, but ya never know...I'll solder it on later tonight.
