DELM PICKUPS

hand scatter wound pickups

DELM pickups are hand scatter wound and are built with our custom made winding machine which means they can be wired to produce a diverse range of tones. Winding pickups by hand allows us to stagger the winding process and gives control over the number of winds and the quality of parts thus improving the tone and sound quality of the pickup. 

When talking with players, tone is a subjective topic, because what sounds great to one player may not be quite the same for another. That is why we configure our pickups and tailor them to the sound of your choice to suit your unique playing style and preferences.

We offer both single coil pickups and humbuckers and each pickup is wax potted to help minimise micro-phonics. If you prefer without wax potting, just let us know. Pickup technical specifications are available upon request via the ordering information page.
