Yep, when I asked that is basecally what I was told. Not enough demand to justify production cause of course it is coupled with extra costs for gear and parts.

I wouldn't imagine that they would contemplate making or sourcing baseplates and covers in such small amounts. However, there are also other issues. Handwound doesn't entail winding the wire around by hand sitting on the back porch. Generally it involves a devices that rotates while the wire is wound on. It might be possible that they could use the P-90 one, but I wouldn't bet on it.

It sounds intriguing..... but I have absolutely no some idea.

New BKP model?

(....or US pickup manufacturer?)

The reason he doesn't offer them is because the construction of them is not as substantial as a regular humbucker and they actually take longer to make. Lollar make them in the US if you need a nice set, or you can find them on eBay quite often (as people replaced them with full sized HB's in LP Deluxes).

Sorry for the delay... thanks a lot for all the replies, very helpful.

I have e-mailed Tim, they don't make them anymore.

Plenty of other manufacturers produce minis but I wanted the BK Mule Mini... I love BK pickups.

PhilKing any chance you want to sell yours? :)

Another chance is buying a set of Mini's and have them rewired by BKP. I think they still do that.
