Karman Hot Bridge AlNiCo 5 Strat Guitar Pickup (Single) - Black

Karman pickups are high quality pickups that come to the consumer at an affordable price, now you can upgrade your entry level standard guitar pickups with something that sounds great without breaking the bank.

Karman Hot Pro AlNiCo 5 pickup is classic vintage looking sounding single-coil pickup that has a modern twist, it has a super hot over-wound coil which gives a DC output of 12k this is perfect for players who like a hotter bridge pickup to drive their amp when the bridge is selected for David Gilmour like solo's. You still keep the chimey bright single-coil sound that cuts through a mix but with a more humbucker like output and drive.

To add to the vintage aesthetic of the pickups, the bobbins and flatwork are made with vulcanized fiber instead of plastic and the wires are cloth braided wire. The pole pieces are also staggered to better suit vintage radius necks that you find on Fender Strat or Squier (7.25 - 9.5") if you have a more modern neck radius (10" - 14") which is common on Cort or Ibanez guitars then our Karman Classic Pro is normally the preferred option, it is the same quality pickup but with higher output and flat pole pieces instead of staggered. If you make use of a compressor then the stagger of the pole pieces isn't really an issue.

-Magnet: Alnico V magnet, staggered chamfered (beveled) pole pieces.
