Pickup Character
A vintage-voiced single coil with a warm, smooth character and airy top end. It has a soft attack, slightly forward upper mids, and a rounded, musical high end rather than sharp bite. The Alnico 2 magnets give it a sweet, compressed feel with excellent touch sensitivity. Overall, it leans more toward “sweet and expressive” than “aggressive and punchy”, making it very responsive to dynamics and picking nuance.

Moderate Character
Magnet density (mT) describes the magnetic field strength at each pole and how the pickup interacts with the strings.
Different magnet types have different ranges (e.g. Alnico ~30–65 mT, Ceramic ~60–90+ mT), and some variation is normal — even within the same pickup.
Typical pole-to-pole variation is ~5–15 mT.
Spread describes this:
Lower spread → more even response
Higher spread → more character and dynamics
Slugs → smoother field
Screws → more focused response

This pickup delivers a classic vintage single coil tone with a balanced and musical character. Its moderate output, Alnico 2 magnets, and ~4.55 kHz resonant peak create a smooth, airy top end, warm low frequencies, and slightly forward upper mids without harshness. The relatively high Q factor (no load) gives it clarity and definition, while typical loading conditions soften the peak for a more rounded, usable response. Overall, it excels in dynamic playing situations, offering excellent touch sensitivity and a sweet, expressive tone ideal for clean to edge-of-breakup styles such as blues, classic rock, and funk.
