FletcherTrons
Rockabilly to Rock!
Small coils of wire around narrow bobbins, fat poles and a huge bar magnet. Don't let the dc fool you into thinking this is a soppy low output pup only good for polite rockabilly. Top end clarity soaks up pedals and gives a clear driving sound. Add a little more output and these are more than capable of driving an amp.
Available in standard Filtertron sizes:
48mm Neck & 51mm Bridge (string spacing) - in both top mount & ring mount
Or in standard Humbucker sizes.
£65 each
Pickups
Small Sized w/out ears
Fletch-o-Tron
Alnico V - Vintage
Made with large magnets and wound to a low output, these are really bright and jangly - perfect for that rockabilly, Chet Atkins twang of yesteryear! Perfect for hollow and solid bodies. Due to the large magnets these are still able to push an amp and are surprisingly versatile despite their low power.
Neck 4.1K 1.4H
Bridge 5.1K 2.0H
Standard Humbucker sized
Big Fletch-o-Tron
Alnico V - Vintage
Made to a similar recipe as the Fletch-o-tron, these aim to capture the jangly twang, but at standard humbucker sizes. Due to the size difference, these produce a slightly warmer, airier tone than a Fletch-o-tron.
Neck 5.2K 1.6H
Bridge 6.5 2.7H
Small Sized w/out ears
Fletch-o-Power
Alnico V - Vintage-Hot
Like the Fletch-o-Tron, but with more power it provides more growl and warmth, while maintaining most of that sparkle. With more power, these will push an amp harder and have a more modern voice.
Neck 5.8K 2.4H
Bridge 6.5K 3.0H
Standard Humbucker sized
Big Fletch-o-Power
Alnico V - Vintage-Hot
Like the Big Fletch-o-Tron, these still produce the sparkle in the top ends, but with fuller mids are more suited to push an amp for a more modern sound.
Neck 7.3K 2.6H
Bridge 8.5K 3.2H
Small size w/out ears
HyperFletch
Alnico V - Modern
Using the design of the Fletch-o-tron but with much more meat on the bones!
This retains the clear high ends and that low end presence but with more in the mid range and higher output. Too hot for the neck, the bridge is a powerhouse of tone! Full mids and tight bass.
Bridge 8.0K 4.5H
Standard Humbucker sized
Big HyperFletch
Alnico V - Modern
Standard HB bridge sized punch.
Huge magnet, thin wire & lots of it, this retains the clear high ends of the Fletch-o-tron design and tight low end presence but with more in the mid range and higher output. Too overpowering for the neck, but brings the bridge to life!
Bridge 8.5K 5.0H
