I believe the 'Blackhawk' pickup is to be released this year.

[cnotold]

I'd like to know about that as well.

People here seems to be very careful mensioning about the new product.

But isn't it about time to spill info of blackhawk?

[witeter]

You can actually hear a bit of the blackhawk pickup on RedSeasFire youtube video of their current rig

[DaveyHoran]

Is this what the blackhawk will look like? (4 blades, high output...)

[Toe-Knee]

pretty much all the info that is known has been spilled. Theres been videos showing the pickup, soundclips and even a tonal description.

There is a thread somewhere on this forum regarding it.

No - may look a bit similar but is two coils not 4!
4 blades - hence blackhawk (like helicopter)
Output is not as high gain as some might have expected as far as i know
Hopefully more will be revealed soon 8)

I like it best out of all Nolly's guitar sounds
Think it will do some good hair metal sounds too!

wow i hadnt heard that clip before. I suprised how hair metal the tone is

No - may look a bit similar but is two coils not 4!
4 blades - hence blackhawk (like helicopter)

So each coil is wrapped round a pair of blades, presumably with some sort of spacer between them? 

Which begs the question why two blades rather than one, I imagine to "spread" the magnetic field in a certain way?

SOUnds interesting
when will it be released or etc??

I thought the brown B2 sounded nicer though... clearer and a nice character. What pickup does that one have?

EDIT: Found it, it's a Nailbomb.

Yeah the B2 with the Nailbombs sound absolutely sweet!

That Blackhawk does sound cool, very 80s hair metal  8)

Thought Tim said they wouldn't do any 'blade' pickups ???  :?

[Philly Q]

They certainly have never had any intention of making any Joe Barden/DiMarzio Fast Track/Duncan Hot Rails style single-coil-sized humbuckers.

I guess using blades as polepieces in a humbucker is sort of ethically different.
