I love Curtis Novak. My Jazzmaster has a pair of his pickups in it. A JM-90 (P90) in the neck and a JMV (straight up vintage Jazzmaster clone). I've always loved the combo. He was really cool back in the day, wouldn't wind pick ups without talking to you first. He might be too busy for that now. So I'm back and forth about what to do with my Suhr JM Classic with dual humbuckers. I do really like all three positions and they sound distinct, not always my experience with bucker filled guitars. But I'm really a single coil guy. Thinking about keeping this guitar but swapping one of the pickups. The market on high end guitars looks to be as bad or worse than amps right now. I also do like the way it plays.
Curtis has a brand new pick up introduced at NAMM. It is a Goldfoil that has the option to be connected to a three way selector. You can run both coils as a humbucker, or instead of just a split, each coil is a separate style of goldfoil and can be selected independently. I love that in theory that pick up could give three sounds, and then factor in the middle position with the other pick up and you add an addition three tones there as well.
Thoughts in general about Goldfoil pickups? I didn't find much here on the forum. I don't always care for Greg, but he must have not had coffee yet in this video. These are Curtis Novak Goldfoil (not the ones I described) and they sound nice and unique.
