First there was the Single Coil and it was Good. Then came the Humbucker..............​
With a respectful Nod to the first great humbuckers I present my take on the originals;

Both Neck & Bridge have the same output and 50mm pole to pole. Both covered.
To balance the neck with the bridge it is placed lower relative to the strings, resulting in a clearer neck tone with less string pull.
Sandcast Alnico II give a creamy smoothness with beautiful sweet clarity in the neck, and thick articulate drive in the bridge.

One for the Tone Fiends!

Alnico 4 offers almost as much power as Alnico 5, but with a subtle trimming of the upper end of the EQ spectrum.

A comparatively flat/even EQ these make good sounding guitar sound great. If your guitar sounds good unplugged, these will make it Sing! Articulate PAF tone and versatile enough for most genres.

Best on warm tone woods with hard tops, these produce That tone!

Signature model and my take on late 60's - early 70's sought-after pickups.

There are two tricks to this pickup - Short Alnico 5 bar magnets and equal output in all four coils of both the Neck & Bridge pickups. This design was the result of standardisation of manufacturing processes from the late 60s onwards, which some say takes away some of the magic of the PAFs. With handwinding techniques, some of the early magic is pushed back in.

Characteristic 70s rock voice.

Alnico 3 is the weakest of the Alnico family of magnets. This lowers the inductance, reducing the top end and softening the upper-mids.

This results in mellow warm tones, exceptional articulation and unrivalled dynamics .
Warm woody tone in the neck and smooth buttery tones in the bridge.

Hollow body/Jazz paradise.

Alnico 5 is relatively powerful and the Industry Standard Alnico magnet.

Higher inductance pushes the upper mids and top end resulting in Iconic vintage humbucker clarity. Controlled bass with clear punch in top and beautifully clear mids.

I called it Home because you know where you are with this pickup.
Classic rock. Especially at Home in Maple & Mahogany.

Alnico 2 is a moderately powerful member of the Alnico family of magnets. This moderate inductance, has the effect of pushing the mids and lower end of the EQ.

With this thick and creamy EQ response and will enough power to tickle your amp into sweet distortion, these versatile pickups have lush clean tones all the way up to full-bodies distortion.

Versatile enough for jazz to rock. Nicely suited to brighter light woods and my go-to for HSS combo.

Using Alnico 5 as a base for clear highs and controlled bass, the trick to this design is to combine two different wire gauges per pickup to add a complexity to the voice.

The thicker 42AWG wire has the clarity of voice and articulation to be expected of a vintage style pickups. The thinner 43AWG wire adds a touch of warmth and compression to the mix.
Resulting in a pickup with the bright openness of a vintage pickup with a warm smoother tone, with a touch more push than a true Vintage pickup.

Nails that 70s rock tone, but as versatile as any Vintage pickup.
