Gold foil on raw nickel.
Unplated Nickel finish
More than one option for a mini
Gold foil on raw nickel.
These are just normal humbuckers but smaller, right? Not really!
Mini-Humbuckers have two thin narrow bobbins, covering a small area of sensitisation than a standard HB,
overflowing with hand-wound wire coils over a skinny little bar magnet.
One coil with little screws, the other with a chunky bar of steel - its not designed like a normal humbucker and doesn't quite sound like one either.
My slightly mismatched coils produce a clear sweet tone with some of the thickness in the mids you'd expect from a normal humbucker, but brighter & more focused.
Shielded two wire output as standard. See below for Options.
Fletcher Minis are Modern size with Long legs and might not fit well within vintage guitars:
Dimensions - 68mm(L - 80mm including mounts) x 28mm (W) x 16.5mm ( H - 26mm including mounts)

Standard Models
42 II
Vintage Alnico II
Alnico 2 lends most of the power of Alnico 5, for that distinctive push, but with more thickness to the mids and a smoother more present lower end. The thicker coil wire ensures the articulation expected of a vintage spec pickup, with a stunning clean voice and a rich distorted tone.
Perfect for lighter tone woods or for achieving a voice closer to a PAF style HB.

42 V
Vintage Alnico V
Using Alnico 5 for brightness & clarity and combined with the thicker coil wire to a vintage spec, these are my brightest, airiest Minis.
The thicker wire has the lowest compression, aiding better dynamics, with an open articulate voice. The powerful magnet has a controlled bass response with present mids and a sweet top end - perfect for bright clean tones and hitting through the mix when adding dirt.
Perfectly suited to hollow guitars or on darker tone woods.

43 II
Vintage Alnico II
Using Alnico 2 for the smooth response and better low end expression, combined with thinner coil wire.
AWG43 wire adds more fullness to the mids compared to the thicker wire, as well as a touch more compression and power, willing your amp into a smooth overdrive. Still with the lush clean voice expected of a vintage spec pickup. These deliver a significant amount of PAF like voice, with subtly improved clarity & top end response.
A slightly more modern feel at home in lighter tone woods.

Modern Alnico V
Wound with thinnest AWG44 to modern output and using the powerful Alnico 5 these are aggressive!
More compressed and less articulate than the vintage pups, these have a natural, broad mid response and a sound bigger than its diminutive size.
Still retaining the clarity of a mini, but the power of a p90. Clean sounds are still great, but these demand to show off and stand out!

Bridge 13.0K 8.0H

43 V
Vintage Alnico V
Using Alnico 5 for the brightness of attack and clarity, combined with thinner coil wire.
AWG43 wire adds more fullness to the mids compared to the thicker wire, as well as a touch more compression and power, willing your amp into a bright clean overdrive. Still with the lush clean voice expected of a vintage spec pickup. These deliver a similar power/response of a standard humbucker, but with a lively brightness, better equipped to cut through the mix.
Bright, powerful, mix-cutting loveliness.

Overwound recommended for bright bodies, or just more dirt! Contact me directly to discuss this option.
