Rickco123 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Hello, first time posting here, been a member for a little while and have found some great information. I just acquired an Sweet 16 with a single mounted TJ Doyle pickup and a "phase" switch. Ive never heard of that pickup before and cant find much about it online. This one has 2 bar magnets and I think is around 4K. Ive seen 2 other S 16's with this pickup and it seems Heritage installed them at the factory on special orders. Im looking for any info or experience with these PUs. I have a KA 12 pole mounted that I got from Kent (worlds best and nicest pickup maker) that I was saving for an occasion like this but the few bits I could find about the Doyle seems like it may have been pretty good. Im still waiting for guitar to get here so I havent heard it yet but I was hoping to get some background intel on PU in the meantime. My new git is pretty special, Ill post pics (if i can figure out how) when I get it Thanks to the HOC members for this great site. Im an older retired person who doesnt spend much time with a computer and still cant text on a phone so other than occasional utube excursions this is the only place I have to go to stay "in touch" Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressure Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Maybe the pickup is a Tom Doyle PAF. If it is those pickups are some of the best. http://www.tomdoyleguitars.com/PAF.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickco123 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 I saw those but it doesnt look like that, it has 2 chrome bar magnets exposed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick you have fallen into a good bunch of people here. Many of us have met personally through the years. Somebody here will know the answer to your question. A quick search brought these up. https://reverb.com/item/6170873-rare-tommy-doyle-pickup-system-tw-doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I replaced the Heritage pup in my sweet 16 with a lollar gold foil. Really great for blues and rock-a-Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickco123 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Thanks, thats the pickup but mine has one and that seems to be a 2 pup system. I do have the KA ready to go but I never heard of this TJ pup cant help wondering what the background is and why the only 2 Ive seen were 2 pics of S 16's with them mounted like mine with a switch (impedance,phase?) Thanks for the replies,got a note it shipped today Ill post pics when it lands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
