Does anybody know what has happened to M-3 California guitars/pickups?

Postby SeanTheFunky » Sun Feb 05, 2017 2:44 pm

Hi all, its been a while since I've last posted here.

Does anybody know what has happened to M-3? They seem to have just disappeared all of a sudden. This sucks because I was planning to buy another RH-94 Mosrite style pickup- the one in the regular humbucker size.

Any info or alternative pickups would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

It is my understanding that the son went back to school and his father was trying to finish up existing orders of pickups and closing the business. Curtis Novak, Ed Elliott still make Mosrite style pickups. Also Hallmark is close copy/sounding Mosrite style pu'p.

I also see Dana Moseley selling pickups on eBay. I don't know how they compare, just an observation.

Thanks for the replies, folks.

Does anyone have the contact details of the guy who ran M-3? I wonder if he'd do a one off pup here and there, still? All those other suggestions are really out of my prierange haha
