The Pickup Swap Shop
All pickups sold and traded here come with
a 30 DAY GUARANTEE. This guarantees the pickup to be in perfect
functional condition and as described. All pickups are tested,
inspected and repaired if necessary. If you should somehow
receive a pickup which is not functioning or as described,
you can exchange it or have your money refunded. Guarantee
is void if the pickup is modified(that includes changing
the leads). If a pickup has been repaired or rewound the description
will say so.
A bad pickup for exchange would be one which
is unknown, low quality, broken, or a model I just have too
many of. Contact me to determine if your trade is "good"
or "bad" and actual trade in discount. A good pickup
is a working pickup of similar type, but nothing particularly
special. A dead vintage pickup may qualify as "good".
For certain pickups, straight up trades may be negotiated.
All prices include standard shipping USPS in continental
US.
I will also buy your unwanted pickups outright.
I also make custom wound pickups and offer
repair/ rewind services. Prices are very competitive. For
models and prices go here.

**I currently
have literally dozens of cheaper import pickups of various
types. Some are like new and some are older imports as found
on Tokais and Univox etc. Additionally, I usually have
several good quality pickups which haven't been listed
yet
Wiring color codes and more on the "wiring"
page.
RATINGS: F(fair)- ugly, and well used but perfectly
functional, G(good)- significant wear and/or discoloration
but not abused. VG(very good)- little sign of wear or use,
may be some discoloration of metal polepieces, Exc(excellent)-
like new. Same criteria are applied to vintage pickups.
