The Duncan Custom Shop makes a Charlie Christian humbucker. No idea what it would sound like, but the concept (and look) is very cool.

Even more authentic looking ! Thanks for the link Philly :)
I see there is also a (U.K ? ) manufacturer specialising in their version of them (?) - with straight blades, 'B' string notched blades, all notched blades - and of course the multi- point mounted 'routed archtop' 'staple. They cost as much ( each ) as I usually pay for a guitar :lol: - but at least they are taking the commercial risk of putting them out there.
Tim was very shrewd in introducing the 'Manhattans' ; which
are very 'fit for purpose' and no doubt are reasonably practicable to offer, as the 'M.Q.' basics will surely provide at least some 'stock ' parts without excessive diversification into / commitment to a
very unusual stock set / niche area of the market.
Horses for courses. :)
