HANDMADE BRIDGE HUMBUCKER, HB, NEODYMIUM MAGNETS, 4 WIRE, ULTRA DISTORTION MODEL (SHB-UD)
For the bridge position, it's dedicated to those who were not completely satisfied by humbuckers equipped with ceramic magnets or in AlNiCo or were looking for an alternative pickup that will be surely surprising.
Even if it has his musical genres of choice from hard rock to heavy metal, given his four-wire wiring and therefore the ability to play in split mode, it's still very versatile, with both the distorted nd clean sounds.
Like any other neodymium pickup of good quality, it allows you to feel from your guitar nuances and details that models equipped with traditional magnets often do not highlight.
Waxing performed in a paraffin bath mixed with beeswax, which gives the right amount of elasticity necessary for maintaining immunity against unwanted squeal over time.
Pole spacing: 52 mm.
Copper wire: AWG 44
Total series resistance of the coils (connected in series): 19,6 Kohm.
The north coil directs the magnetic south pole towards the strings; opposite orientation for the south coil.
Wiring:
RED: north coil positive;
WHITE: north coil negative;
YELLOW: south coil positive;
BLACK: south coil negative.

FIVE STAR FEEDBACK BY A REVERB CUSTOMER:
"Really fantastic and well-rounded pickup! Very articulate on the low end, with crisp and clean highs. Perfect midrange. On a clean channel, no note is overpowered by the next, and the coils each have a very distinct sound when isolated. Distortion brings out a chunky sound with a tight control to the lows and screaming highs. Caring and methodical workmanship and great sound. Would buy again and would suggest anyone and everyone give these pickups a chance! Quick international shipper!"

Humbucker modello Ultra Distortion, con magneti al neodimio, avvolto e assemblato a mano.
Per la posizione ponte, è dedicato a chi non si ritenesse del tutto soddisfatto da humbucker equipaggiati con magneti ceramici oppure in AlNiCo o fosse alla ricerca di un pickup alternativo che si rivelera' senz'altro sorprendente.
Pur spaziando i suoi generi musicali d'elezione dall'hard rock all'heavy metal, dato il suo cablaggio a quattro fili e quindi la possibilità di suonarci in modalità split, è comunque molto versatile, tanto con i suoni distorti che con i puliti.
Come ogni altro pickup al neodimio di buona fattezza, permette di tirare fuori dalla propria chitarra sfumature sonore e dettagli che i modelli equipaggiati con magneti tradizionali spesso non evidenziano.
Ceratura eseguita in bagno di paraffina miscelata a cera d'api, che conferisce la giusta dose di elasticità necessaria al mantenimento nel tempo dell'immunità verso l'innesco di fischi indesiderati.
Spaziatura poli: 52mm
Filo smaltato AWG 44.
Resistenza serie totale delle bobine (connesse in serie): 19,6 Kohm.
La bobina nord rivolge il polo sud magnetico verso le corde; orientamento opposto per la bobina sud.
Cablaggio:
ROSSO: positivo bobina nord;
BIANCO: negativo bobina nord;
GIALLO: positivo bobina sud:
NERO: negativo bobina sud.

MINI P90 MkIII - Handmade Strat sized Neodymium Pickup for Bridge position
Handmade pickup for bridge position, suitable
for direct replacement of Strat sized pickups, with no need for any adaptation.
It is particularly dedicated to those who love the typical tone of the P90 but
are not willing to adapt the body of their guitar and / or to accept the
aesthetic change.
TEXT CONTINUE AFTER PICTURES
The bobbin (which has physical characteristics
identical to those of the P90, except for his lateral extension) was wound by
guiding the wire by hand. Unlike the MINI P90 MkI and HALF DOLLAR models, the
MINI P90 MkIIIs are wound using AWG44 wire instead of AWG42.
This means that since the wire is thinner
(0.050 mm instead of 0.063 mm), a greater number of turns can be wound on the
same type of coil used for the MINI P90s. Consequently, thanks also to a
powerful neodymium magnetic system, the output level boasted by this pickup is
unknown to the vast majority of other existing single coils, including P90 in
standard format (especially if equipped with AlNiCo magnets). Output levels
aside, compared to the MINI P90 MkI voicing is characterized by a greater
emphasis on medium-low frequencies, due to the resonance peak of the coil
characterized, in fact, by a greater number of turns.
The Rs of this pickup is 12.6 Kohm (measured
at an ambient temperature of 26 ° C).
MINI P90 MkIII are also available for the
central position (Rs = 11.8 Kohm) and for the neck position (Rs = 11.4 Kohm)
and each pickup can also be requested in black or cream. The pickup for the
middle position is RWRP compared to the others.
The waxing was carried out in a mixture of
paraffin and beeswax (3: 1 w / w), to ensure immunity against any unwanted
squeal, maintained over time.
The connection cable is shielded.
The entire MINI P90 MkIII set can also be requested already installed on a pre-wired pickguard.

HANDMADE LOADED STRAT HSH PICKGUARD, MULTICONFIGURABLE, WITH NEODYMIUM PICKUPS, HUMBUCKERS SPLIT AND TREBLE BLEED
Pre-wired handmade pickguard, on 3 ply PEARL WHITE plate with WHITE pickups, covers (closed) and knobs. On demand, can change white pickup covers and knobs with black ones, without price changes.
- Push-pull switch of the second tone knob (neck and central pickups tone control): pulling this knob, independently of the position taken by the 5-way selector, the connection in parallel between the two pick-ups on the neck and bridge will be configured, by excluding the middle Strat single coil. In this configuration the two humbuckers can still be kept in both FULL and SPLIT operation (in the latter case both push-pull knobs will be raised).
- Push-pull switch of the third knob (tone at the bridge HB): by pulling this knob, in both humbuckers will remain working only the NORTH coil (SPLIT mode). If the knob is pressed down, both HB coils become active (thus restoring them in full operation and with the relative coils connected in series: FULL mode).
This product, already particularly versatile, guarantees modern and powerful sounds without the need to install (and therefore replace later ...) any type of battery, thanks to its hand-wound pickups equipped with neodymium magnets.
Demo videos not yet available, sorry...

- Switch push-pull della terza manopola del tono (tono dell'HB al ponte): tirando su la manopola (pull), nei due HB rimangono funzionanti le sole bobine NORD (modalità SPLIT). Se la manopola viene premuta in giù (push) si rendono attive entrambe le bobine degli HB (ripristinandoli, quindi, nel funzionamento pieno e con le relative bobine connesse in serie: modalità FULL).
