Vintage spec 'CuNiFe' magnetic poles
Alnico bar magnets & Steel poles. Is it just a normal humbucker? Yes - more or less!
Wide Range humbucker - The New Range
Vintage spec 'CuNiFe' magnetic poles
With packed coils and a large surface area, WRs are unconventional. Proper vintage spec have magnetic poles with a big brash and bright voice like a single coils on steroids. Or the later model which is much more akin to a standard humbucker.
My humbuckers are Hand-wound & are carefully mismatched to produce a wonderful musical clarity throughout the sonic spectrum, whether vintage or modern.
Wired with 2 output wire as standard:
Red Hot, White Earth.
WR humbuckers are both 53.3mm string spacing
Two purchasing options:
1: Buy my models from the shop section below - use drop down menus to customise.
2. For non-standard orders get in touch: Here
