From Curtis Novak:
Gold foil pickup are all the rage these days, but they have been my passion for over 30 years. Their odd and space age design, unique tone were all draws for me. Actually most of the gold foils are junk, but in this pile of junk there are a few gems and this is one of my all time favorites. The tone of this particular pickup has an amazing powerful clean Fender-like bell tone. It is out of this world in the neck position of a Tele and complements the bridge pickup better than a traditional Tele neck pickup.
