Artist Treble/Bass Pickups

[Apollo_Sam]

I picked up a '95 CE22 about a month back and it has Artist Treble/Bass pickups when I was expecting Dragon 1s. I've not been able to find too much info on these, anyone have insight on what these are? They sound great! Thanks!

Those pickups don't show up very often these days. They haven't made them in a good while. They put them in a lot of hollow bodies years ago.

Just gonna bump this, hoping for more info on these pickups. I just scored the bass pickup, wondering if it's worth searching for treble to pair it with

They are solid pickups. I can definitely understand the disappointment of not getting D1’s but they are definitely good ones.

Heck.....I'd trade you a set of D1s for those.

I was just going to comment - I bet someone on here would trade a Dragon 1 set.

So it's worth sourcing the treble pickup, then
