T-Top Replica

True Classic 70's Rock Tones

The T-Top Replica is a faithful recreation of 70's era humbucker pickups that  captures the tone and feel of the "second" wave of classic rock pickups.  Made with vintage correct magnet wire, short-bar AlNiCo 5 magnets, and vintage correct outputs,  these are for players who want a vintage feel with a crisper, harder attack, courtesy of the AlNiCo 5 magnet.  Basically you have a low output humbucking pickup that is powered by a stronger A5 magnet, which produces a nice edge to the tone with great clarity and articulation clean or dirty.  When driven the TTop has a very musical response that is both crisp and aggressive.  When purchased as a set, the neck and bridge pickups are calibrated for optimal balance. 

Built by hand in Syracuse NY, the T-Top features classic Manlius design elements, including hand scatter-winding, american sourced magnets, vintage steel alloy parts, universal depth base-plate legs, maple spacers, and light wax potting for consistent performance.
