quiet operation of a standard humbucker? The Humbucker From Hell® goes where no humbucker has gone before. It has the glassy, open sound of a great single-coil, with bright pick attack and warm depth of tone. Because the Humbucker From Hell® is a full size humbucker, its output and noise specs match perfectly with other humbuckers-now your guitar will sound absolutely balanced in all positions. To get a bigger single-coil tone from your rig, use the Humbucker From Hell® in the neck or bridge position. It will drive your system harder, while maintaining the springy, transparent sound you expect only from a single-coil pickup.

Recommended For: Neck position in solidbody guitars.

Tech Talk: Okay, we admit it - it's a strange name for a pickup that's not a megavoltage monster (but try it in the bridge position with a really bright amp & you'll get it). What we really wanted was a super-clean neck pickup, because we've heard years of complaints about muddy-sounding buckers. This pickup is the cure. With some guitar/amp combinations, it can sound almost acoustic, with others, it's real Strat®-like. Aside from cancelling 60-cycle hum, it bears very little resemblance to standard humbucking sound.
