I know he goes after manufacturers over various trademark issues, however, you can't stop someone from using specific magnets in a certain configuration, and so much Xga formvar. I thought Lollar got pressed because he was advertising Ric pedal steel pickups. If you change the form factor, there can't be any trademark issues, except maybe with Gibson, but that ship has sailed.Grey wrote:The simple answer would be that Rickenbacker wants their pickups used in their guitars.

The bottom line is that we really don't have the extra capacity right now to worry much about making pickups for other maker's instruments.
Now that you mention it, making you buy a Rickenbacker to get them sounds like a good idea.
That's hardly what I was suggesting...or more like who I would expect to do it. I have a P90 strat and it might be an interesting change of pace.Grey wrote:Sure, you can buy Rickenbacker pickups all over the place and i've seen custom builds that use them, but Rickenbacker making toaster tops that fit in Gibsons or Fenders dosen't seem likely to happen.
