HC/HF Series Pickups
Within the sanctuary of a sleek and smooth cover beats the heart of a vintage lion. Mild to medium to hot output, HC/HFs sing with a wonderful vintage flavored voice, depicted by focused midrange energy and enlightened by extremely musical upper-mids and seasoned with sweet, soft and soothing highs.
HCs are available with a variety of covers. HFs are uncovered, black in color.
Now available for 7-Strings!
HC/HF 1-: A succulent and sweet and clear neck humbucker—throaty and full neck humbucker tones we all love without being overly bloated. A nice match with the vintage-level HC1+ in the bridge position. Specs: DC Resistance: 6.0 kΩ, EQ(0-10) Bass: 4.3 Mid: 5.3 Treble: 4.0, Magnet: AlNiCo
HC/HF 1: More neck humbucker saturation, output and smoothness than HC1- while still retaining equilibrium for the neck position perfection. The quintessential mate for the medium-hot HC2 in the bridge position. Specs: DC Resistance: 7 kΩ, EQ(0-10) Bass: 4.8 Mid: 5.8 Treble: 4.8, Magnet: AlNiCo
HC/HF 1+: Vintage level output and signature, with a voice of mid-centered perfection, surrounded by soft, articulate upper-mids and highs. Specs: DC Resistance: 9 kΩ, EQ(0-10) Bass: 5.0 Mid: 6.0 Treble: 5.0, Magnet: AlNiCo
HC/HF 2: Our other most popular humbucker, perhaps. Who wouldn’t love a medium-hot output package with all the vintage flavor firmly in place, wound to create a full bouquet of tonalities. Muscular mids with a smattering of lush and soft highlights so it is impressively musical, with never a hint of that “oops, I accidentally sat on a duck,” tone. Beautiful from all tonal angles. Specs: DC Resistance: 14.0 kΩ, EQ(0-10) Bass: 4.5 Mid: 7.0 Treble: 5.5, Magnet: AlNiCo
HC/HF 2+: Just like the HC/HF 2 with a bit more oomph across the tonal spectrum. Specs: DC Resistance: 17.0 kΩ, EQ(0-10) Bass: 4.8 Mid: 7.5 Treble: 5.1, Magnet: AlNiCo
HC/HF 3: The HC Series solution to hot output, with vintage character still nicely intact. Just pushes the front of the amp a touch more or when a bit more musical muscle is needed. Specs: DC Resistance: 14.5 kΩ (reads low due to different construction), EQ(0-10) Bass: 3.5 Mid: 8.0 Treble: 6.5, Magnet: AlNiCo
HC/HF 3+: Surprisingly musical and sweet but will roar when required. We have been very pleased, getting classic rock to shred tones. Specs: DC Resistance: 17 kΩ (reads low due to different construction), EQ(0-10) Bass: 3.0 Mid: 9.0 Treble: 7.0, Magnet: AlNiCo
