Big AL
First up is the Big Al. This pickup, with its alnico pole rod magnets, captures more of the clear, bell-like chime of a classic single-coil when played clean and retains the tight mids and articulate low-end vintage growl and smooth sustain saturation when pushed into overdrive all without the 60-cycle hum issues associate with standard single-coil pickups.
Staggered Bucker
Next is the Staggered Bucker. This unique 3x3 Hex Pole design has a sonic voicing closer to a traditional P.A.F. humbucker than a typical Filtertron. Loaded with custom Alnico magnets, and hand scatter wound with a unique blend of vintage and modern wire, this is the set for players looking for more of a warmer balanced tone and mid-range muscle in our Filtertron footprint.
Both of these custom hand-built Righteous Sound pickups come housed in dull brushed nickel vintage Filtertron hi-lo open-face casings available in either parchment or black deco aesthetic designs making either one a perfect pickup choice for your signature Belltone custom build.
