Stimer Pickups
|
Stimer pickups are the most popular magnetic pickups for Gypsy jazz guitars. They are single coil which gives them a bright, clear sound. These pickups were used by Django after the War, and have been used by nearly every professional Gypsy musician. These recent Stimer reissues by Maurice Dupont are the best sounding ones yet. They have a much better string to string balance then the original vintage Stimers (which are very weak on the wound strings and too hot on the unwound strings.) These new Stimers also have a warmer, fatter sound then the old ones which were often very harsh.

This custom made, high quality insulated cable is designed specifically
for use with a Dupont Stimer reissue pickup. Unlike the standard cable,
this one uses a right angle RCA plug which directs the cable towards
the tailpiece. This keeps the cable away from the players leg, which
has tendency to jostle the cable and knock the pickup loose. By
directing the cable away from your leg, you will gain added stability
and greatly reduce accidental unmounting of your Stimer pickup.
This cable only works with Stimer pickups fitted with RCA jacks.
Some Stimers have mini-plugs and are therefore incompatible with this
cable.
