Humbucker

Chow Chow · Bridge

bridge

Expands on the classic Alnico 2 character with additional midrange presence and sustain. The tone is rich, smooth, and harmonically dense, delivering the iconic vintage rock sound of legendary late-seventies and early-eighties recordings. Dynamic and responsive, it cleans up beautifully with the guitar volume while staying powerful enough for soaring leads and punchy rhythm work.
