Blows away the rest. Formvar Wire-Fibre Bobbins-Alnico 5 Poles. Very BIG and Full blooming sound without being hot and brittle. Handmade-The way they used to be! The low output and wide scattered design produce a complex round tone with lots of harmonics. Middle pickup is reverse wound to cancel hum at positions 2 and 4. Finally you can have great tone even at the bridge! Check http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data2/ for a review of these pickups.
