Forever Moore - Signature Set
True Vintage Alnico V
My take on True vintage pickups, based on an Iconic guitarists well known guitar.
Roughly equal output on all three, having a low wind, vintage output.
Volume balance is achieved by having a lower neck pickup, relative to a modern set. This results in a characteristic sweetness in the Neck pickup.
Made with staggered Alnico 5 magnets around Formvar coated AWG42 coil wire.
Formvar is vintage correct & thicker than regular wire coating, resulting in more space in the coil and a larger coil.
Inspired by a strat which Gave Moore!

Whistle
Vintage Alnico II
My take of that early 50's sound, II's offer great sustain and warm tones, but with a bit more punch and clarity than III's.
Great for warm clean tones, but able to push into warm sweet overdrive.

Vintage Alnico III
Uncommon in commercial pickups, Alnico 3 gives a warmer woodier tone. Great for jazz and clean tones these have a natural singing quality due to the low magnetic pull and good sustain.

LunaPrism - Signature Set
Vintage/HotAlnico V
These are not vintage correct pickups, but pickups designed to make it easier to achieve a certain tone.
Wound to near p90 output on a slightly deeper bobbin and using thinner wire this set aims to put body into the mids & to push your amp into thick and creamy distortion. Not really Modern output & retains the charm of a good Strat Pickup.

Yell
Vintage/HotAlnico V (or II, III, IV)
For those seeking a Hotter pickup that sits between the musicality of vintage and downright dirt of some modern hot pickups, these are clear and musical, yet itching to let rip! Generally with less highs and more mids, great for thin or bright sounding guitars, or for a more modern sound.

Formvar Strat
Used in the earliest pickups up until about'64, Formvar is the type of coating on the insulated coil wire and is thicker than normal Poly insulated coil wire. This results in a fatter coil with more space between the wires in the coil. Resulting in a more open, airy 'vintage' sound.
Only available for Vintage Spec pickups.
