HUMBUCKERS

Vintage

Landmark PAF
Classic PAF output and inductance, with vintage correct
42 PE magnet wire, rough cast AlNiCo magnets.  Woody
tone, refined low end, good spank and vibrant criven
tone.  Versatile for numerous styles.  Classic PAF

Fat Diane PAF
Based directly of an Historic example, slightly hotter with
higher inductance compared to Landmark.  Touch more
rounded with slightly thicker overtones, creamy when
driven, with exceptional grit and character.

Chicago Blues
Designed for Blues and Rock players.  Creamy neck
tones with good mid character coupled with a bridge
pickup with greater sizzle and cut for sharp attack and
leads.   Smooth and sharp depending on attack.

Hot Rod 59 PAF
All PAF componenets, wound to higher inductance
ratings for highest output possible with vintage
components.  Crunchy and rude when drive, suprisingly
sweet and well reserved when clean.  Very versatile for
those needing vintage PAF performance with more
attituce.


T-Top Replica
Vintage based recreation of 1970's era humbucking
pickups gives a classic tonal response with great
dynamics, balanced EQ, and a sharp edge with
aggressive attack.


Modern

Modern Vintage PAF +
Vintage build style with finer gauge magnet wire for
higher output with no EQ sacrifices.  AlNiCo magnets
ensure proper attack, clarity, and definition, while
medium output ratings give heightened front of the amp
drive for a very authoratative tonality.

Full Range
High output with no big, flabby low end!  Excellent EQ,
with maximum power to drive any amp.  Articulate with
sharp attack when clean, powerful and gritty when
driven.  Great rock and metal pickup, but its versatility
goes well beyond.

Stud-Bucker
Custom Manlius design, with specially sized and charged
AlNiCo rod magnets instead of normal slug/screw setup.  
PAF output range, but with more magnetic pull to give
greater prevelance to highs and upper mids.  Very
chimey and textured while not being too bright or
piercing.  Maximum humbucker definition clean and
driven.

Custom Hot
Overwound, hot humbucker available in neck, bridge,
and set offerings.  Powerful with a good cut and
aggressive feel.  Great midrange response with full,
percussive highs and tight low.  Ideal for hi-gain
situations.

Asphalt
High output A5 based pickup, with full low end response
with good top end clarity.  Extremely versatile pickup that
cleans up well for a more vintage feel, or grinds hard
and heavy with drive and distortion.  Contemporary
design that can handle a wide variety of styles.


Please note that all pickups are potted unless
otherwise requested.  Thanks.
