SKU: GS20420
Great for any humbucker-equipped guitar, and Strat-style guitars with a single-single-hum or hum-single-hum configuration. We have also sold these to Tele players who like a humbucker in the neck. Fralin has devised a humbucker that looks normal but sounds brighter on the wound strings than two single coil Pups side by side.
Fralin Unbuckers have their two coils wound with different amounts of wire. While a typical 8K humbucker would have each coil wound to 4K, an 8K Unbucker would have a 3K coil and a 5K coil. This makes the pickup brighter. A typical 8K humbucker would have one of its 4K coils combined with the single coil, typically closer to 6K. There is somewhat of a mismatch between the two pickups, with the 4K humbucker coil being thinner sounding than the 6K single coil. If an 8K Unbucker is used instead of an 8K humbucker, the Unbucker would have its 5K coil combined with the 6K middle pickup. This is a much better match, and more closely approximates the sound of two single coils combined.
The second benefit of the Unbucker is that some people think they sound better when used as a humbucker (when both coils are on in series). Lindy is in this group. He says that his personal PRS McCarty never sounded so good as when he replaced the stock humbuckers with a pair of his Unbuckers. He thinks that the mismatch between the coils yields a more complex humbucking tone than two matched coils provides. So the Unbucker is not just for use in a Fender-style guitar where a humbucker is being used in conjunction with a single coil, they are also a great upgrade for any guitar that uses humbuckers.
Downside: the hum-canceling is slightly compromised. While an Unbucker is still hum-canceling to a large extent, it is a little noisier than conventional humbuckers.

These are humbuckers in size and shape, and they are quiet, but the sound is pure single coil. Built like a Tele bridge pickup, the Twangmaster has non-adjustable Alnico 5 rod magnets for pole pieces; and it's even clearer than the P-92s, with the sound you would expect from Alnico 5 rods. Available in 8,000, 9,000, or 10,000 turns. Covered only, in black, nickel or gold. more information »

Well it's official there is now a Shredder neck pickup. It's an unbalanced pickup that gives you the singing tone of the Darkburst with the detail, and drive of the Fillmore neck, all in a 9.2K pickup. I can't say just how great this pickup sounds. It really has the tone of the Crossroads neck with much more power, but some how Jim never lost the hollow mids, and dynamics of a great low powered PAF. They are a special order but delivery is only a week in most cases, so if you are ordering them with other items, be aware that the full order will ship only when the pickups are ready to ship with no exceptions. more information »
