Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop Abigail Ybarra Abby 50's Hand Wound Pickups

Fender has announced that “pickup artist” Abigail Ybarra, one of its most revered employees, is retiring in 2013 after more than 50 years with the company. Ybarra came to Fender in 1956 and in ’58 began winding and building pickups. Her hand-wound creations have been installed on the company most popular instruments since the late ’50s and were likely on instruments played by Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and countless others. Her pickups have become desirable amongst artists and collectors.

Here are some of the last pickups she ever made from 2012. They sound truly amazing, the perfect 50's sound, they have black bottoms, using heavy formvar wire. All readout shown, all around 6.5 ohms, the middle pickup is reverse wound. Rare to see them for sale so here is your chance, thanks for looking
