For those about to rock, this one’s for you! – PETE THORN

WARMTH. CLARITY. OPENNESS.

Pete has always been inspired by the “hot PAF into a cranked plexi” tones a legendary guitarist used to create magic in the 70’s and 80’s. This new design starts with our special Thornbucker wind, with a few more turns on the coil, up to 9k, paired with an Alnico II magnet. The Alnico II gives more of a warm top-end that perfectly blends with a high-gain, British sound. The result is high-notes have a body and openness, without too much top-end. Warmth, power, sweetness and clarity.

Key Features:

• DC RESISTANCE: 9.3KO (53mm)
• MAGNET TYPE: Alnico II
• WIRE TYPE: Plain Enamel

SUHR V63 SINGLE COIL MIDDLE & NECK

Suhr’s V63 pickups are wound to have the same tonal characteristics as those found by John Suhr in a particularly sweet 1963 S type guitar. The magnets are made by the same company that made the magnets for Fender® in the early 60’s and have the exact same formulation and use the same manufacturing process.

V63 pickups incorporate a modified staggered pole piece design to provide an even magnetic field needed to accommodate instruments with flatter neck radius and today’s string gauges.

Key Features:

• DC Resistance: 6.4KO (middle) RW/RP
• DC Resistance: 6.4KO (neck)
• Magnet: Alnico V Special
• Hook Up Wire: Braided Cloth
