Questions first? Mail me.

Don’t take my word for it. Same set in every clip, level-matched.

Hear it

All demos

Neck, middle, bridge, voiced as one

Neck

Vocal and round.

It sings and never gets muddy.

Middle

Clear and glassy.

The quack lives in 2 and 4, hum-free.

Bridge

Sparkle, not ice.

Bite when you need it, and it never goes thin.

Demo

The set in a Strat. Clean, all five positions.

In the box

A screwdriver, on purpose.

Three pickups and a screwdriver, so you can set the height and plug in. Go lower for chime, higher for body.
