Micro-Frets produced a range of guitars that incorporated several innovative design features including the first integral wireless transmitter.

This set of two basic bar-type pickups (B & T versions), was fitted in Micro-Frets guitar models Wanderer, Orbiter and Golden Melody.  The two housings are from the B & T versions of the Model 2000 pickup, with the basic DeArmond bar pickup soldered into the housing.
