Andy was a bit of a legend - him and people like Jim Cairns were the old guard when it came to pickups. In fact without Wizard there probably wouldn't have been a BKP, but that's another story.

One more for the hat from me is Mojo Pickups - plenty of innovation as well as all the classics

It's true it's much easier to get hold of parts, I'd have found it hard to set Bulldog up without knowing all the BKP suppliers. And BKP would have found it hard without guys like Bharrat who really did their research.
At one point practically ever luthier was making or repairing pickups in this country. And some were remarkably ingenious.
What I like with the pickup makers over here is the fact that they will try different things rather than just try and replicate the-perfect-PAF(tm).
Wizard did one called (iirc) a Novatron which had this whole Resonator sound going on, which was completely different, and you and Mojo are both pushing things in different directions, which is cool.
What always amazes me is guitarists not wanting anything apart from the 'Classic Tones' . Other than being in a cover band I'd have thought people would be looking for something new/different, but it doesn't seem the way of things, which always seems odd to me. The average painter would take your arm off for a new colour.

I had a pair of Kent's hand wound humbuckers in the Manson Eagle I used to own. They were absolutely fabulous ...
To me it's sad that his stock has been a little devalued amongst younger guitarists by the cheap Far Eastern products that have his name all over them.

I have a hankering for an old Shergold ... ideally one to restore ... as nice ones are really at a premium these days
