Philosophy |

Franklin
Rosswell pickups are the result of a longstanding developmental
work from musicians for musicians. Our research's aim was and is
the sound optimization of electromagnetic pickups. For this purpose,
guitar players of different styles constantly test and evaluate
our prototypes. The statements are documented and carefully analyzed.
The outcome: an enormous wealth of experience about the coherences
between sound features and the production technique or and the materials
(such as wire gauge, number of turns, winding system ...).
So we developed an extensive assortment of different pickups - for
every musician's taste! |

Production |
| |
Franklin
Rosswell Pickups were developed by Thorndal Guitars (Gregor Olbrich
Gitarrenbau, Maroldsweisach, Germany) in cooperation with consulting
engineers Frank Schoepf, Niefern, Germany.
Franklin Rosswell pickups are wound on specially designed CNC-controlled
winders. They do the computer exact production of the computer-designed
CADCAM series pickups. The use of these machines guarantees the
optically exact winding, minimized tolerances and reduced processing
time. |
