M-Tone Modern Feature Page

The genius of the humbucking guitar pickup has been around over 1/2 a century and is still going strong today. Invented to cancel the 60 cycle hum that made other pickups noisy, little did they know the sound or "tone" of these pickups would be highly desired for a long time to come.
Not to improve, but create variations on this theme is the intention of the M-Tone (modern tone) humbucker pickup. Using hand winding techniques, these "hotter wound" pickups retain vintage tone AND give the pickup a boost far beyond normal "PAF" output. 4 conductor lead wire is used to ensure wiring options are available for even more "modern" tones (unless custom ordered w/vintage braided).

Choose the alnico 2 magnet for a deep low-end tone that gives your sound the perfect fullness with smooth top-end, alnico 3 with a touch more treble, alnico 4 magnet for more fullness and high-end, the alnico 5 for some serious sting that cuts through the mix, ceramic bar for extended midrange preferred by 4 out of 5 metalheads, or triple ceramic ($10 up-charge) for volume and midrange galore. All pickups are wax potted to reduce microphonic squeal unless ordered otherwise.
