Ritchie Blackmore, which pickups does he use?

[MrRhoads]

Good evening folks.

I´ve been havin´ quite a Deep Purple evening and found this video with Ritchie Blackmore and the pickups seemed to be EMG or Lace but i don´t know for sure.
Does any of you know which pickups he use in the video or otherwise?


Rock on!

EDIT! Sorry here´s the video [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqwggzB8Y-E&feature=related[/ame]

That looks like his Sig. Blackmore model that Fender made.I'm guessing Lace Sensors?

+1 Lace, killer video

 

[MrRhoads]

Yeah it might be Lace, haven´t found any source that will confirm it though

 

[Benjammin]

Theres some good info about Ritchies guitars/pickups on strat-talk.com. The only white, pole-less pickups ive seen him play were the Laces, like the ones in his sig model

Ritchie could make a cigar box guitar talk.........amazing player.

 

[MrRhoads]

I take it as Lace usage is confirmed
Was gonna go to Lace website but my Norton found 79 computer threats, yikes..

I know his guitar tech. I'll ask and get back to you.

EDIT: Question sent via Facebook. I'll post the answer when he gets back to me.

Here you go, straight from Jim Mangaard, Richie's guitar tech:

Gold lace sensor pickups (in the sig model) and in some of the other strats he has Seymour Duncan quarter pounders.

cool. Didn't he also use some sort of Schecter pickups?

I believe those were what he used in the 80/90s prior to his signature Fender. I didnt know he actually used the Duncan Quarter Pounders (for Stranger ), they are in the current version of his sig model, but from what I read, they are supposed to be similar the Schectors he had used
