Inspired by late 1950s humbuckers, this Underwound Custombucker seeks a balance between warmth and definition. The Alnico 3 magnet offers a soft attack and expressive mids, following a decidedly "old-school" philosophy focused on musicality.
Perfect for blues, classic rock, country, or jazz guitarists who want a responsive, open, and uncompressed humbucker. It works very well in the neck position for silky cleans and in the bridge position for organic, articulate crunch.
The Underwound winding reduces output to preserve transients and widen the dynamic range. The choice of Alnico 3 favors airy highs, controlled lows, and singing mids. The 2-conductor setup maintains a simple and reliable "vintage" wiring; it is not intended for advanced splits/coil-taps. The absence of potting (unpotted) allows the pickup to breathe, providing more air and harmonics, provided careful placement and feedback control at high volumes. The Zebra cover delivers an instantly recognizable retro aesthetic.
