Quarter Pound Strat SSL-4
Quarter Pound Strat SSL-4

Summary

Quarter inch diameter rod magnets and an overwound coil create our most explosive sounding Strat single coil with a meaner, fatter tone.

Description

With more than twice the power of a traditional Stratocaster single-coil, the Quarter Pound Flat has a fat, punchy tone with plenty of top end sparkle. The hand polished, diameter alnico 5 magnets are matched with a larger, more powerful coil winding to deliver sparkly midrange harmonics, great sustain, and big, full chords, making this one of our most popular single-coil pickups. Use an SSL-4 in the neck and bridge position, with an SSL-4 RWRP in the middle for a complete set.The bobbins are hand built, and wax potted for squeal free performance. We use modern oval Forbon flatwork (non-triangular) which enables this pickup to fit into any guitar that is routed for single coils.

Screamin’ Demon Trembucker TB-12
Screamin’ Demon Trembucker TB-12

Summary

The Screamin Demon Trembucker is a medium output F-spaced humbucker designed to deliver crisp 80s sizzle with a scooped midrange.

Description

This is the Trembucker (F-spaced) version of our Screamin Demon humbucker. The idea was to create a pickup that had the articulate airiness of an old-school PAF, but with more growl and sizzle. We used slightly overwound coils, an alnico 5 bar magnet, and used a mix of pole pieces that included one row of standard adjustable screws, and one row of shorter Allen head screw. What you get is a big, open tone, with a treble emphasis that keeps your pick attack sounding articulate at any level of distortion. Pair with the 59 neck or Jazz neck humbuckers for a great setup.Trembuckers have wider pole piece spacing, perfect for symmetrical positioning under the strings of guitars with a tremolo or wide spaced hard tail bridge (2 or wider from the center of the Low E to High E directly over the bridge pickup). Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Screamin Demon Trembucker uses an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.

Slash Set APH-2S Zebra
Slash Set APH-2S Zebra

Summary

The classic tone of Appetite for Destruction in a pickup.

Description

When Slash was given the honor of having a Gibson Les Paul Signature model built, we sent over the same Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers that he has used for decades. Turns out, the new guitars sounded noticeably different than the original. So we accepted the challenge to make him a new pickup that would make all of his new signature guitars sound just like the original AFD Les Paul. The result is the Slash Signature Model humbucker. We used a different mag wire and winding spec, that, when combined with the alnico 2 bar magnet, provided exactly what was needed to push a stock Les Paul toward that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange that was so characteristic of the tone of Slash’s original Derrig Les Paul copy.The Slash humbucker set is hand built in Santa Barbara the same way we built his originals in the 80s, using a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting.
