Enter to win a free Trinity pickup of your choice – Mayes Pickups

Yesterday, Dave G. sent me a email letting me know about a pickup give-away (thanks Dave!). Anyway, the pickup give-away is for Mayes Pickups, and in particular, the Trinity pickup for stratocaster or telecaster style guitars. I always like meeting new builders/developers related to guitar and bass, so I sent a email off to the owner of Mayes (Adam Mayes) to get some more info on the pickups. This is what he had to say:

The Trinity line of pickups are a 3k-ohm pickup in the Strat-style and between 3.0k- and 3.5k-ohm in the Tele-style.  They are a tri-coil passive pickup, meaning there are three independent coils in each pickup; one for the bass, mid and treble.

In its present phase, it is simply an improvement to the standard single-coil pickup.  It has lower resistance and smaller coils.  The result is greater clarity, texture of tone and sustain than a standard pickup.

It looks like he’ll be picking a winner every month. Simply send a email to freetrinity@nullmayespickups.com with the name of the pickup of your choice in the subject line to win a Trinity. Winners will be drawn on the first of every month. Only one prize per person. Give away available for US residents only. Trinity pickups are $89.99/ea, so it’s a great opportunity to upgrade your tone.. or at least explore other pickup options.

For more information, please check out Mayes Pickups. On the site are some sound clips, etc. so it’s definitely worth a visit. Mayes Pickups also has a Facebook page.
