Heritage Humbucker pickups all use AlNiCo V magnets for classic grit and warmth, but unlike traditional humbuckers my Heritage line are hand wound for added color and depth, and come with your choice of braided 2 conductor or 4 conductor hookup wire. Cool Heritage HH-C $110 or £55 each This is a modern interpretation of a PAF. It's got a wide open, classic tone that works well for all types of music. To add harmonic content to the pickup and give it more attitude I do not pot these pickups. That means I have to be extra careful when I wind them, but it's also what makes these really come alive.
Similar to the Cool Heritage but it's wound with Formvar wire. This pickup is very smooth and bright with slightly scooped mids which helps it to retain its clarity even when you are really driving the amp. I particularly like this pickup in the neck because it lets you get rid of the muddiness typical of the neck position but without loosing the warmth. Nickel cover (+)-NC $25 or £13 Nickel covers shield the pickups so you get less background noise. They also change the tone so that it sounds darker and less defined. This can be good for lots of classic rock, blues, and jazz, but it's not so good if you want to play shred.
The same construction and materials as the Cool Heritage but it's got more heat. This means it drives your amp better, has more mid-range and more harmonics for people that just have to have it. This works well in the bridge with a Cool or Smooth Heritage in the neck. Potting to control microphonics is optional for $5 or £3 each |
Smooth Heritage HH-S $110 or £55 each
