Häussel Pickups is a German pickup manufacturer based in Burladingen, founded by Harry Häussel. Häussel began building custom acoustic guitars around 1980, and after years of repairing pickups for customers, started winding his own in 1986. The acquisition of a CNC machine in 1989 allowed the small workshop to scale into precision serial production while keeping its custom-shop character.

The catalog covers most traditional electric guitar and bass formats, including the Humbucker 1959, P90-style 1953 and 1956 models, ST-style single-coils (Classic, Blues, BigMag, Klinge), TE-style Telecaster pickups (Broad, Vintage, BigMag), and the hybrid Tronebucker available in humbucker or P90 housings. Bass offerings include J-Bass and P-Bass replacements, MM-style and Triplebucker designs, the Jazzbucker, and the BassBar in four- and five-string versions. Pickups are typically beeswax-potted under vacuum and shipped with four-conductor shielded leads for coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring.

Häussel pickups are commonly specified as factory equipment by European boutique luthiers — Maruszczyk Instruments, Public Peace, and Rockinger Guitars among them — and the brand has a particular following among players chasing vintage Gibson-style humbucker tones, with the Häussel 1959 frequently cited in Mark Knopfler Les Paul tone discussions.
