Tonerider has come out with a new Pickup which is designed for Left handed guitar players.. sounds weird right? whats left or right got to do with a pickup..

Its based on the Alnico strat pickup and was to solve a problem where people were looking for left handed magnet staggers and not finding them.. so Pure Vintage LH came out with a pickup that doesnt just switch around the pole pieces.. but goes one step more.

Here is what Andrew Cunningham had to say

It’s necessary for us to introduce “lefty” models because we aren’t
just putting different length pole pieces into the pickup and calling
it a “stagger”. Across the range of positions (neck, mid and bridge),
Tonerider magnets might be charged stronger in the bass position and
demagnetized slightly in the treble position, and, in the case of the
bridge pickup, use a mix of two different Alnico grades. Simply put,
only with a full “Lefty” can you get 100% of the performance of the
design into your tone.”

It will be out on May 15 2008
Price will be $135
