Lipstick pickup

A lipstick guitar pickup is a form of single-coil magnetic guitar pickup, totally encased in a chrome-plated metal tube.

The lipstick-tube pickup was introduced by Danelectro on their line of electric guitars. The original lipstick-tube pickups were manufactured using real lipstick tubes, and were featured on Danelectro, Danelectro's Coral series, and guitars that were later marketed through Sears, Roebuck and Company department stores under the name Silvertone.
