Order Status
Please note that Legendary Pickups is no longer accepting new orders except for where pickups are already currently in stock. Please see the store page for more info.
Due to changes in personal circumstances, new EU legislation prepped for 2025, supplier costs increasing and a shift in the market over, I think it's time to call it a day and put the Legends to rest.
Having sought multiple different ways to keep the brand alive and potential buyers, I don't feel comfortable with the options for keeping it going. Being made in Scotland, operated and run solely by me, was one of the largest draws that people sought out. I am truly humbled by this and Scotland isn't known for being a pickup building location. It was nice to give that extra foundation a homage and keeping it local and true to the brand was impossible in the current climate.
I am exceptionally proud of each and every pickup that has left the workroom. I stand by every one that has been made and I hope you all enjoy them for years to come.
I thank each and every one of you that has paid interest to the Legendary and has supported me through the multiple life events that have happened over the last 6 years.
It has been a pleasure but time to say goodbye.
All the best.

Vintage voiced, like a PAF, and extremely responsive to the players touch, the Midas is golden with tone and harmonic in it’s delivery.
Midas (/ˈmaɪdəs/; Greek: Μίδας) was the name of a king in Phrygia with whom several myths became associated, as well as two later members of the Phrygian royal house.
The most famous King Midas is popularly remembered in Greek mythology for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold. This came to be called the golden touch, or the Midas touch.
Reminiscent of the iconic “Patent Applied For (P.A.F.)” pickups, the vintage voiced Midas carries a rich heritage. Keeping true to the originals with vintage gauge plain enamel wire and sand cast AlNiCo II magnets, the Midas exhibits extraordinary responsiveness to the player's touch, allowing for expressive and nuanced playing.
Like its namesake, this pickup possesses the remarkable ability to transform your playing experience into pure gold.
