Nico's Vintage Voiced Single Coils offer a tone that is true to the player, a price that is fair with a sensible approach to an age old concept. Why pay more than you need to for the same tone as the large name brands? True vintage tone...Guaranteed!

 

 

American '69

 

Perfect for late 60s Voicing.

 

In our opinion this is the perfectly calibrated Custom Shop 69 pickup. 

 

Made with high quality Alnico V magnets, plain enamel pickup wire to achieve the true voicing of the era and cloth vintage leads just like the more expensive "initialed" version.

 

However, we perfected the set by offering a middle pickup with a 6.3k output and is rw/rp to achieve hum canceling in positions 2 and 4. The bridge has been fattened up to a beautiful yet vintage true voicing of 6.8k. 

 

Truly an incredible set for "Voodoo" Blues, Classic Rock, Country, Rockabilly, Ska and similar music styles. 

 

A true vintage staggered & voiced Single Coil. 

 

Specs:

Neck: 5.8K

Middle RW/RP: 6.3K

Bridge: 6.8K

Hades Blades

(Black Covers Only)

 

Perfect for Heavy Blues, Rock and Metal!

 

Manufactured with high end Alnico V magnets these blades are sure to give a noiseless tone that is warm and furious. Plenty of sparkle with a smooth middle and punchy yet powerful bottom end. 

 

Great for most playing styles but truly ideal for your Heavy Blues and Rock on full and blues and country tapped!

 

Truly an amazing pickup!

 

Recommended position: Any

Output: 12k

Wire Type: 4 Conductor

Custom Shop

Signature 50s

 

Hand made in the USA with a price tag we don't have to whisper. While Boutique winders try to gouge players for $240 for a "vintage set" for some "magic" set of pickups.

 

We've taken a practical and sensible approach to pickup winding and vintage voiced single coil pickups.

 

Wound perfectly to achieve 50s voicing with perfect calibration. These pickups are made with Alnico V magnets hand calibrated to achieve the warmest tone possible. The pickup wire is 42 AWG Heavy Formvar  which offers incredible high end but not bright, with plenty of mid range and a tight bottom end. For vintage correctness we offer cloth leads. 

 

Great for that traditional 50s Tone with a bridge that is less bright perfectly for vintage voicing with a slight bite.

 

Specs:

Neck 5.7k

Middle RW/RP 6.4k

Bridge 7.0k

We've taken a practical and sensible approach to pickup winding and vintage voiced single coil pickups.

 

Wound perfectly to achieve 60s voicing with perfect calibration. These pickups are made with Alnico V magnets hand calibrated to achieve the warmest tone possible.

Great for that traditional 60s Tone with a bridge that is less bright perfectly for vintage voicing with a slight bite. These pickups tend to have a tighter bottom with a tad more bite for more aggressive vintage voicing.
