Question Pickups in the new guitars

[Johnny Alien]

So the pickups in all of the new guitars just say "Music Man" pickups. Does anyone know anything about them. Are they made in house? Are they foreign made pickups? These would be the pickups in the Stingray, Cutlass and Valentine. I was just curious if they started winding their own pickups. What is in my Stingray uses some pretty thin plastic covered wired which also made me think they might just be something imported specially for EBMM.

I think they are in house pickups like the MM90's were.

yes designed in house By Dudley

They sound fantastic! I loved the MM-90's as well. It seems to me you should be making all of the pickups.

I have a feeling that's the direction since the Cutlass, Stingray, StV and Valentine all use in house pickups. I believe the Armada does as well. The Luke, JP, Al, Axis/EVH are all artist models where the Artist choose the pickups and I'm sure future Artist models may do the same, but EBMM Knocked it out of the park on the new models! The ones I've gotten to demo (cutlass/stingray) play and sound great!

The StV has DiMarzio but you are correct that the Armada has MM pickups. I didn't know that.
