Alegree Indian Summer bridge humbucker

B stock due to a bad batch of slug bobbins from my supplier with the holes being a little bit too small - bobbin cracked slightly when slugs were inserted. Won't affect performance and hardly noticeable.


Here's the description for my Indian Summer humbucker set (this listing is for bridge only - matching neck can be purchased in another listing).

This is a medium output pickup set designed for maximum versatility.

This is my 'do it all' pickup set. This has a bright and articulate neck pickup that will never get muddy regardless of how much gain you throw it at. Bright, however, does not mean thin or weak. This pickup blends just the right amount of high end to keep it from being muddy and a nice chunky mid and low end to keep leads tight and fat. The bridge is a 42awg/43 awg hybrid. A hybrid pickup is a pickup wound differently on each bobbin, this removes a lot of the frequency cancellation that is leached along with the hum cancellation of a humbucker. As each bobbin has a different resonant frequency this allows a broad frequency spectrum, greater high end and detail intensity that is simply impossible to achieve with a standard humbucker.



Specifications (neck/bridge):

Resistance (ohms): 7.4k/9.8k(4.2k/5.6k coils)
Magnet: alnico 4/alnico 5
Lead wire: 4 conductor + shield
Base plate: short legged nickel silver 
Wax potted



All my own brand pickups are handwound in the UK. I take extra care to ensure craftsmanship and attention to detail is the greatest that can be found. Handwinding (scattering the coils by hand) reduces the capacitance of the coils, allowing greater detail and treble response to be achieved compared to a machine wound pickup. This prevents the pickups from getting muddy. Scatter winding by hand also gives the impression of a louder pickup by the increased sound detail. This allows a lower output handwound pickup to balance with a higher output machine wound pickup.



Soundclips for most of my pickups can be found at alegree.co.uk

 

Supplied with screws & springs/tubing (tubing for Telecaster & Stratocaster pickups)
