Staple pickups originally turned up in various guises on Hofner® guitars - and theres quite alot of mystery surrounding them to boot.

The most common misconception is that all staple pickups are actually humbuckers (or Mini humbuckers!) - and this isn't always true. Most "Staples" (with the exposed staple poles) are actually single coils, with the staple being used to extend the magnet field.

Some of the best hook-up wire we've worked with over the years. Easy to ground using the outer metal braided screen and incredibly heat resistant thanks to the waxed cloth inner coating
