Pickup help needed

Post by Joe E »

Does anyone know if the pickups on a Mid 70's Fender Artist 10 are interchangable with anything on the market? I don't want to modify the guitar. Just want to swap out pickups.

I think these guitars were built by Music City Mfg. who also building Sho Bud (I think)

Joe, I have a Fender Artist 10 and I put an Emmons pickup on it. I did not want to modify the guitar, but I was forced to enlarge the hole. However, I did it in such a way, that IF I would have to put the original pickup back, it would cover the hole and the mod would be invisible, unless you take the pickup off.

The Emmons pickup is still on the guitar and sounds much better than the original Fender pickup. I also added the tap switch under the guitar.

Hope this helps
Peter
