Guitar pickup

Abstract

The present invention relates to a stringed instrument pickup comprising a first bobbin plate and a second bobbin plate, a plurality of magnetic pole-pieces extending between the bobbin plates and conductive wire coiled around the pole-pieces. At least one of the bobbin plates is made of an electrically conductive material for shielding the conductive wire from ambient electromagnetic interference and comprises a plurality of electrically resistive portions for resisting eddy currents in the plate.
