Humbucker
White Pearl · Neck
Designed for players seeking maximum clarity, openness, and articulation from a humbucker-equipped Strat-style guitar. Its relatively low inductance and high resonant frequency create an airy top end with excellent note separation and dynamic response. Clean tones stay sparkling and detailed; overdriven sounds reveal complex harmonic content without becoming harsh. The bass response is intentionally controlled and tight, avoiding the boominess often associated with neck humbuckers.
