Pickups

A very accurate replica of a 60s style pickup. Staggered polepieces with chamfered Alnico V magnets. Chamfering the polepieces focuses the magnetic field giving good highs but still allowing some mids to come through to stop the pickup sounding thin. Middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity. Bridge pickup is slightly overwound for better balance.

Wilkinson Open coil-style Humbucker with a higher output than the WVC. Harmonically rich with tight lower frequency response. Special windings with ceramic magnets give good highs without sounding thin. Nickel silver backing plates complete this high quality pickup.

While the original spec for Humbucker bobbins was black, a shortage of these items on the production line in the 1950s resulted in bobbins being sourced in virgin material (ivory coloured plastic), hence when guitarists started to remove their brass covers, they discovered that some guitars contained what have become known as Zebra pickups.
