Andreas Kloppmann is the undisputed king in Germany, and probably Europe, when it comes to recreating vintage sounds with his meticulously hand crafted pickups in Northern Germany. Note that we said “vintage soundS” as in more than one. Every e.g. Telecaster fanatic will tell you that a 50s model sound very different from a 60s model. So, Kloppmann offers various versions that aim to recreate the sound of a particular era - quite successfully if we might add. If you want to combine modern aluminium construction with authentic vintage-style pickups, Kloppmann is the way to go. Broadly speaking, with single coils, go with 50s models if you prefer fatter tones and go with the 60s models if you like twangier, leaner sounds. With humbuckers the story is a bit more complicated but Kloppmann’s website offers detailed descriptions and excellent sound files. If you’re uncertain, tell us what you’re going for and we’ll give you more specific advice.
