well there is john diggins and possibly alan exley as mentioned above - both worked for john birch. Diggins still makes john birch style pickups for his old boy replicas, Exley seems to hoard old partsthere is also the occasional ebay auction to keep my eye open for - like this onehttp://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1975-John-Birch-Hyperflux-G-Guitar-Pickup-RARE-/130448510622?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1e5f564e9ethe problem for most pickup makers is the metal work - i absolutely want the original look if i can get it... i already have normal pickups wound to sound like an Iommi pickup
you wouldn't use the meat knife on crusty bread but, equally, the serrated knife and straight edge knife aren't going to go through raw meat as quickly
well they are close enough to get there, but not spot on.they came from a guy on project guitar who is really just starting to make pickups, but not doing too bad a job. He is also a bit of a birch/diggins fan so is happily aiming for that flavouri have one of his early A8 fullsize humbuckers - but apparently he has designed a mini-humbucker since then that is much closer to the Iommi soundhttp://www.guitar-logistics.com/pickups.html
looks better than a V2 though - the other V shaped wood sandwich!
