The Toaster
There's three ways to do things in the guitar business: the right way, the wrong way, and the Rickenbacker way. It's hard to argue with a company that's been operating continually for like 300 years and has done things their own way (for better or worse) the entire time. I offer the single-coil Rickenbacker toaster pickup in three styles: '50s spec, '60s spec, and tapped. All three feature 1/4" alnico rod magnets like the original.

Toasterbucker
So this is my own creation and nothing like the Rick ceramic blade humbuckers. I say it's my own creation, but I really just put two half-size toaster coils in series under a Toaster cover. This is probably the least creative, but most effective way to turn a single coil into a humbucker. This is pretty much how they turned the P90 into the PAF (and the rest is history! TADA!)
