Replacement bridge pickup for 1966 celebrity lll

[Southwicks]

So, I bought a 1966 celebrity lll a couple years back and love it. The one draw back is the owner before me created a new pickup ring and put in a standard cheapo p-90. I pretty much have only played the neck pickup but ready to make this thing right. To avoid having to fashion a new pickup ring I’m thinking about just swapping out the p90 with a p-90 close to the same specs of the original pickup. Can I double confirm the specs for this pickup and/or does anyone know of a p90 out there or someone that would make one this hot? Thx!!

Contact Bob Shade from Hallmark Guitars. He might be able to help you out.

Welcome and you do have 3 options, the 3rd not always being available:

1: Member Bob Shade (http://www.hallmarkguitars.com) has a stock of vintage Mosrite magnets that they used in their pickups (they're not commercially available now, otherwise) and he can make you a vintage-spec Celebrity III Bridge pickup. The Celebrity III used the cheapest set of Mosrite pickups at the time; no pole pieces are in it.

2: Ed Elliott, also a member here, also can wind you a pickup and he has period correct pickup covers. I have a set from Ed in my Ventures II and they fit the bill well.

3: Old stock parts from parted out guitars on eBay. These aren't always available.
