Features
:
Passive HB w/fat mag rods. Look like slugs, but no bars under coils. Good idea to combine the 2 materials to step on the treble a bit and reduce string pull.
4 conductor
N 8.4K
B 10.1K
Instrument
:
- Yamaha Pacifica test mule.
- Neck and Bridge pos.
- I had some SD mini-hums Vintage output
- Had to get these for the option of true FDR tone when split
Sound
:
10
The sounds are great, I'm sure a hand scatter wind would be optimal.
- med. plus output. Not as hi as the Korean/Exotic model SRII's
- HB tone is open, no mud, very balanced. Notes are well defined in chords. Roll-off treble a touch per std HB'r thickness.
- SC tone is basically Fender, as you get 4.2K and 5.1 when split
- so far, just using Tech21 Tri-A.C. thru SS back-up SS Peavey. Tube amps are down('56 Deluxe Tweed Clone & '62 Ampeg Reverberocket), but the Tri reproduces decent Tweed, Bassman, Mesa and Marshall tones.
- I mostly fiddle with Blues and HRock, but Metal is on the menu at times still.

20+ years of tinkering tone madness. Again, I'm sure these would be better hand wound. Custom Shop produced, on a US, not a Korean CNC machine? For sure a 'Fantastic value'.
Know this, I'm a P90 kind of guy and I think these offer some of that, but with the FDR tones I desired too. HB vol roll-off gives a hum free SC thang. Love the mag rods. I suppose these are quite a bit like the Tele Custom HB's, as their covers conceal 6 of 12 threaded mag rods.
I use a MegaSwitch w/2 toggles for all LP, Tele, Strat tones or any blend of those models I choose with just 2 pups...Saweet The Strat 2/4 positions are via resistors and a cap, a la Jerry Donahue Tele schem..
Now I've got to find a good home for these puppies. Versatility warrants a 10 per 'Fantastic value'
