Pickups
Vintage to Modern Pickups. Handmade in Birmingham UK.
Get Your Tone!
Mini-Humbuckers have two thin narrow bobbins, packed with hand-wound wire coils over a bar magnet.
One coil with little screws, the other with a chunky bar of steel - its not designed like a normal humbucker and doesn't sound like one either.
Slightly mismatched coils produce a clear aggressive tone with a broad sonic spectrum.
Shielded two wire output as standard. See below for Options.
Fletcher Minis are Modern size and might not fit well within vintage guitars:
Dimensions - 68mm(L - 80mm including mounts) x 28mm (W) x 16.5mm ( H - 26mm including mounts)

All pickups can be underwound by up to 10% for a cleaner, clearer vibe, recommended on semi/hollow bodies or bodies with an overly dark tone.
Overwound recommended for bright bodies, or just more dirt!
