Check out this amazing guitar made by Cindy Hulej of Cindy Guitars. Hand made over there by the W4th Steet train station at Carmine Street Guitars. Cindy uses reclaimed wood from NYC buildings (the old bones of NYC). Cindy’s work and crafsmanship is amazing!!!! I am graced because she selected and installed Sound Laboratories pickups to be the voice her work. Thank you Cindy 🙏🙏
Here Is a description of the pickups used:
In the lead position is the Super7114mg Humbucker. This pickups was inspired by my high friend Morgan Giles. Morgan asked me if i could make something similar to Eddie Van Halens’ Franken Strat lead pickup. What came from the research was the Super7114mg. It’s an amazing sounding humbucker. I love its tone so much I have it in my favorite Strat. It really made my own guitar go from awesome to amazing.
The Middle pickup I call the JHMagic Strat. It’s a Jimi Hendrix inspired pickup meant to feel bouncy, rubbery and playful with a nice mid range sound. I hear boings when I play my guitar. This pickup and the next one I’m about to gloat over are also in my Highway One Strat.
The neck pickup is a Lip Stick pickup inspired by Richie Baxt’s obsession with lipstick pickups. Ive been friends with Rickie for many years. When he learned i was making ans repiaring pickups he asked me to make him “special” lipstick pickups. I even made him custom Telecaster lead lip stick pickups which sound fantastic. Ask him if you dont believe me.
Honestly, I found lip stick pickups to be a little thin. This pickup I make has a little extra meat and bite. It sound incredible as a neck pickup
I suggest to the owner of this Cindy’s Guitar to keep the number of their local fire department handy because it’s an f’n HOT guitar!
