Thought P94 but the polepieces look kind of strange. Any ideas?:confused:

The player is Nick Waterhouse and he's pretty good! Check em out.

My guess is Guitar Fetish's Surf 90 (http://www.guitarfetish.com/Surf-90-BlackChrome-Neck-Position_p_1512.html)...

I thought that but the poles look almost square or like they have blades running parallel to the strings. Dunno if that's just a reflection though.

Yeah - you are right. There are little bars that run in the same direction as the strings. It was really hard to find a clear image of it until I found the following video (best to watch in hi-def on Youtube). Now that I think of it, I have seen these somewhere on the internet but I'm afraid I can't remember where. Wish I could. I'd try looking at some of the old DeArmond pickups for a start...
Glad I checked this post out, I really like his music.

Yeah I think he's going to be 'big' soon. Really solid music. I feel like I have seen that pickup somewhere too, but I just can't place it. Time for some serious googling when I get out of work!

Nice detective work, R5! Those look pretty cool.

I was interested, until I saw the price tag. 400 for a set! Yow! I think I'll stick to my original plan of getting some GFS Surf 90s whenever they are back in stock!

Isn't that somebody else's version of this - the old-style pickup in a 1956 Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty?
