Hi flier Phase 2 pickup construction

Post by Not Josh » Mon May 12, 2025 7:58 am

Hey,
To preface this, I am planning in making a tribute of a late phase 2 Univox Hi Flier from scratch and because these pickups are quite unique and there aren’t any other like them, (They are even different then phase 1 hi flier pickups!) I wanted to make a pair as close to the originals as possible. I researched them and found very few sources talking about their construction (I will link the 1 good one I found below). But the one I found never mentioned any measurements of the bobbin or magnet. I know this is a bit of a shot in the dark but if anybody who has a late phase 2 with the original single coils and is willing to take the pickups apart and measure them and send pictures for science, I would be like super grateful. :)

Party on and thanks for reading, -Josh

Aaron Rash talks about these in his latest video and has built some replicas. Maybe try and contact him.
