application
Flat pole piece, vintage-style, true single-coil. Recommended for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock.

description
This pickup combines the same coil design as the APS-1, with hand ground rod Alnico 2 magnets of equal length raised above the flatwork. The flat magnet pattern provides the balanced field necessary for an even response using today's strings (unwound "G") and flatter neck radii. The more even output response is noticed when bending strings. Like the APS-1, the pickup is clean and vintage-like and will distort "earlier" compared to similar Alnico 5 pickups like the SSL-2. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable and vintage-style "keyed" bottom plate.

complete setup
Calibrated set available with RW/RP middle pickup.

guitars

available mods
