Handmade Guitar Pickups - GABOJO AMPLIFICATION
We
are a small workshop in the center of Athens and we make custom guitar
pickups with ... vintage flair. We draw inspiration from the masters of
the past and get influenced by their sounds. We meticulously aim to
craft brilliant tones on every pickup and shape their unique identity.
We love working with our hands as we feel that this keeps us close to
the guitarists who do exactly the same. We spend a lot of time
researching things as we try to match the new with the old. We make use
of old stories or little phrases of guitar solos from old records to get
inspirations and design our pickups. We like to combine classical
pickup structures such as humbucker, Firebird or gold foil with
different elements and dimensions to achieve what the trend calls “the
new vintage tone”

We are inspired by Django’s electric sound between 1946 and 1950. The tone of Kleio 47 is influenced by those recordings, where the poor amplification and the naturally aggressive acoustic technique of Django gave that legendary gypsy jazz tone to our ears (and hearts). Dmitry Kuptsov has done extraordinary work on four tracks of his new album "The Suncatcher" with Kleio 47 pickup and Peche a la Mouche amp. You can listen to the tracks at his band camp We make Kleio 47 only for oval guitar. Kleio pickups were inspired by Adonis Goulielmos, a gypsy jazz guitar luthier www.goulielmos-guitars.gr. The name of the pickup belongs to his nine-year-old daughter and it is written exactly as she writes her name, using Latin characters. Check Kleio requirements with this video Characteristics : Single Coil 7 mm thick 7.5 K at 23 Celsius DC Resistance Alnico 5 bar magnet 500 K log volume pot RCA output Silver Nickel Cover Argentine Strings The pickup is well balanced between the gypsy strings (especially on B string) and this is because we tuned the pickup considering the famous argentine gypsy strings of Savarez, but also works very well with other gypsy strings. Also there is a line on top of the pickup that indicates the position of the B string. 3m cable and Velvet pocket are included Installation Kleio is not a permanently installed pickup. Kleio has a protecting tape at the bottom and a metal mount clip. Τhe spring force of the mount clip is sufficient so that the pickup can remain stable. Restrictions The pickup may not fit in your guitar if: The bracing in the guitar top is very close to the edge of the Oval hole, because this bracing will not allow you to push the pickup closer to the fretboard. The fretboard thickness is less than 7 mm, including the fret distance (fretboard thickness + fret > 7 mm pickup thickness).
