Anderson H1- Blue

Features are all covered in the previous reviews. The poles are set so you can use them without having to adjust for a tremelo.

I put this in the neck position of a 2006 Fender American 60th Anniversary Tele FSR, FMT with 2 Humbuckers. Put an H3+ in the Bridge. The combination is perfect. Added the push/pull option to go single.

I replaced the Fender Enforcers as they were so muddy.

The sound is perfect. Can get a strat like sound out of the humbucker or the best Duncan in the world. I would compare them to a Duncan Jazz but much clearer. When you split the coils they sound just like a strat. No volume drop either when you split.

Clean tones but can take a Marshall and growl! The perfect pickup and perfectly balanced.

Main Amp is a Fender Tube Hot Rod Deluxe.

Play Rock, Blues, Metal. Works for each of them. Not sure they would be a good country pickup but I don't play that.

I wouldn't put this in the bridge position but you never know.

Tom Anderson makes the best pickups ever. I once messed up the winding on a pickup during an install. I sent it back to the factory and Tom rewired it himself for Free!

Been playing for 20 years. Own Strats, Telecasters, Les Pauls, Godin LG, Warmoth Customs and a couple MIJ Ibanez.

The humbuckers I use include Duncan Jazz, Custom/Custom, JB, Pearly Gates and Fender Enforcers.

This is the single best neck pickup on the market.

You musical style(s): Jazz/Rock/Blues/Funk/Whatever
Reason for pickup change:

Sonic evaluation: See H2+ review for amp setup. Tone wise this pu is warm and clear. Have only had for 2+ months so I'm still getting used to it. So far so good.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Cover band-ZZ/Allmans. Originals- Jazz/Blues

Comments: The guitar I put this pickup in was made from a great piece of Black Walnut that is hard to describe tone wise. The closest word I've found is "luscious". That works for me. This pickup brings out all those warm,clear and luscious tones and that's exactley what I was aiming for. I'ts hard to believe it's a solid body when you hear it played through the neck pickup by itself. Especially nice in SC mode. Works great with the H2+ in the bridge position. Best of both worlds. Would replace in a heart beat.

Pickup features: passive full-sized humbucker
Impedence or other specs:

Model of guitar or bass: anderson cobra
Position: neck
Pickup being replaced: no pickup is being replaced. this model came stock on the guitar, and this review illustrates why i am NOT going to change the pickup.
Other pickups on guitar: anderson H2+ in bridge
Artists using this pickup: see my comments regarding this on my review of the anderson HO1- humbucker
You musical style(s): pop/rock/funk/R&B
Reason for pickup change: i am not changing the pickup, as stated above.

Perceived output level: medium-output humbucker, with slightly more output than a duncan '59.
Tone: very balanced overall. this is a good amount of bass response with this pickup, and the top end is very smooth. compared to the HO1- i have in my hollow cobra, this pickup has a bigger concentration in the lower midrange compared to the HO1-'s more upper-midrange focus
Sonic evaluation: i use this pickup in an anderson cobra into a bogner ecstasy 101B head and a bogner straight 412 cabinet with vintage 30's.
i wanted a pickup that would be a great match for the H2+ in the bridge position of this guitar. in particular, i wanted a full, chunky tone more akin to eric clapton's famous "woman" tone, as opposed to something brighter, open, and more hollow-sounding. however, the pickup still had to be responsive and dynamic when i backed off on the gain. on top of that, the pickup had to split well, because i often find myself using a single-coil tone with a clean tone for rhythm parts. the H1- does all of this exceedingly well--its split sound is like a hotter, warmer strat pickup.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: this pickup is a great match for the stuff i play. it's very full and rich-sounding, and it can cover a lot of bases well. players who are looking for more of a vintage tone should probably check out the HO1-.

Comments: i would definitely replace the H1- in my cobra with another one were the pickup damaged or non-functional for whatever reason.
i'm keeping the pickup in this guitar, and i think that ought to speak for itself.
