Yep, who need bobbins ;-) But if you think Höfner pickups were that much different... here is what's inside an original 1960 art-deco toaster-top Höfner pickup (like on my blonde 500/3 2nd from left):

Yes, those look very similar to some eastern-bloc pickups innards I saw recently.

Don't knock him, he's the best thing that has happened to the Democratic Party in a long time. I bet he's on Hillary's pay roll, it will all come out sooner or later.

Certainly not on her pay roll though, Rupert's guardian angel of objective journalism:

Love that White acoustic tele looking 8.... if only it didn't have a maple board.  Also the red doublecut.

I have always found her to be shrill, shrewish, and boring.  A great example of what I'm not looking for in a woman.  That pic of her is horrid, by the way.
