Up for auction is an EXTREMELY RARE set of 20011 Fender Custom Shop Abigail Ybarra Hand Wound Pickups. What makes this set so rare are the following reasons: · Next to Leo Fender himself, Abigail Ybarra is quite possibly one of the most historical Fender employees in the history of the Fender brand. · Ms. Ybarra officially retired from Fender in May of 2013. Therefore, she has not hand wound (or created) a single set of Fender Custom Shop pickups since that day…nor will she ever again. · These pickups are HAND SIGNED and DATED by Ms. Ybarra herself (please see photos). Hand wound Abigail pickups are HAND SIGNED and dated by her; they are signed “Abby” and with ink pen. Abigail Ybarra came to Fender in 1956 and in 1958 began hand-winding and hand-building guitar pickups for the fledgling Southern California musical instrument company (pickups convert string vibrations into electric signals, creating the “voice” of an electric guitar). Ybarra’s hand-wound pickups have been included in Fender’s most popular instruments from the late-’50s to today, and were most likely found on instruments played by legends such as Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan and countless others. Her pickups have become highly desirable and sought after by artists and collectors alike. “Abby is one of the many individuals, like George Fullerton, Freddie Tavares and Forrest White, who have set our course as a company and leader in our industry,” said Mike Eldred, Fender Custom Shop Marketing Director. “She has literally ‘set the tone’ for Fender.” This is an incredible opportunity to own a TRULY unique and important piece of Fender history.
