We get many E-mails regarding Tri-Sonic pick-ups.
Most are from people wanting to fit or replace pick-ups on various Red Special guitars ranging from home made copies to official replicas.

Original sets of Tri-Sonic pick-ups are becoming very hard to find and, of course, are very expensive (if you are lucky enough to find them).

Kent Armstrong is a very well known pick-up maker and repairer.
He has been selling Tri-Sonics for many years.
 

 
He currently offers two types of Tri-Sonics:

Tri-5
These pick-ups have a lower winding specification (5000 turns), which makes them brighter and closer to the original “vintage” pick-ups.
 

Tri-6
These pick-ups have 6000 turns for a warmer sound.
 

Both types use Ceramic magnets and are wound with 44 gauge American size wire. The Middle pick-up is Reverse Wound/Reverse Polarity.
They are available in Chrome or Gold.
 

Kent Armstrong still makes these two types as does his son, Aaron, who is based in the UK.
