Description
|
This pickup is something special! Its sound is big and fat with sweet, round highs. Moderate output, low resistance, wide/tall coil, orginal-style top plate.
Available with Alnico 2 or aged Alnico5 bar magnets. Alnico 2 gives a smooth attack and a fat low end. Alnico 5 brings out somewhat punchier highs. This pickup works great coupled with a vintage-style P-90 bridge pickup!
