1950 Lion - Tele®/Esquire® bridge pickup. 7500 turns of 43AWG over A3 rod magnets - that ubiquitous original classic Fender® vintage 1950 "stock" Leo Fender tone and output, uber twangy, exclusively used in his first "electric spanish guitar", and his one and two pickup 1950 Esquire® - all these specific Fender® guitars used the same bridge pickup build, there were no other bridge pickup designs or types used. Twangy, clean, clear, and Trebly. Black or ivory/parchment string wrapped, supplied with mounting screws and tubing.

Broadcaster Lion - Tele®/Esquire® bridge pickup. 8500 turns of 43AWG over A3 rod magnets - nestled in between the 1950 and Nocaster Holy Grail, the 1950 Broadcaster Lion offers a bit more midrange and a bit more twang. Black or ivory/parchment string wrapped, supplied with mounting screws and tubing.

Nocaster Holy Grail Lion - Tele®/Esquire® bridge pickup. 9700 turns of 43AWG over A3 rod magnets. That original classic earliest vintage 1950/51 Fender® Esquire®, Broadcaster, Nocaster tone is back and fattened up with a higher coil wire turn count to squelch the shrill treble and thicken the midrange. This is the "mistake" pickup, the one where a pickup winder fell asleep at the wheel and added 2000 more coil wire turns. It has that fat vintage tone that we sought back in the day, but could never find ... but we did! It's the Holy Grail of the earliest Fender® bridge pickups. Twangy, thick, clean, clear, with no ice-pick-in-the-ear. Black or ivory/parchment string wrapped, supplied with mounting screws and tubing.

The Lion King - The Lion King offers unfettered vintage tone for those wishing the aesthetic look of the Tele® covered neck pickup, with more treble on tap than a typical Tele neck pickup. The thin nickel-silver mirror chrome cover is independently grounded from the coil leads, allowing phase reversal and easy hook up with ANY type of pickup select switch: 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, mega, etc. A5 or A3 rod magnets under 8500 turns of 43AWG coil wire. Supplied with body or pickguard mounting screws and height tubing.

The Fat Lion King - The Fat Lion King offers more output and more midrange that its Lion King brother, for those wishing a bolder Tele® neck pickup tone and output. The thin nickel-silver mirror chrome cover is independently grounded from the coil leads, allowing phase reversal and easy hook up with ANY type of pickup select switch: 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, mega, etc. A5 or A3 rod magnets under 10500 turns of 43AWG coil wire. Supplied with body or pickguard mounting screws and height tubing.

Cavalier Pickups Build - Cavalier pickups are all built to respective vintage footprint specifications and all will properly fit into Fender® guitars and basses, or any guitars/basses built to Fender® pickup footprint specifications. I hand build all Cavalier bobbins with vulcanized fiber board flatware, AlNiCo V or III or II rod magnets, hand guided 42AWG or 43AWG coil wire using a custom coil winding machine of my own build, with Red Lion infrared trigger and digital counter. The Lion bridge pickup has a steel base plate and its wire coil is wound with cotton string. All Cavalier non-tapped pickups have cloth covered lead wire. Light wax potting (which is the default for all Cavalier Pickups) will suppress feedback and microphonics well enough for the vast majority of guitarists and will allow pickups to render "lively" and "resonant" sounds with increased harmonics. Wiring - black cloth covered leads are the coil ground and white or yellow cloth covered leads are the coil hot side.
