NEK-IV (Neck)

from $119.95

A PAF-style neck humbucker built around clarity, balance, and feel, the A4 model delivers the openness and articulation of a great vintage humbucker while adding a touch of extra richness and dimension. The top end is glassy and expressive without crossing into harshness, while the low end stays tight and controlled with tasteful bass response and rich, musical mids. Exceptionally clear and touch-sensitive, it responds naturally to picking dynamics and volume changes, maintaining shimmer and definition across clean, edge-of-breakup, and driven tones. Inspired by the articulate character of classic late-vintage humbuckers while offering a fuller, more refined voice, this pickup is designed for players who want vintage clarity with added depth and responsiveness.

  • Alnico 4 Bar Magnet

  • 49.2mm String Spacing

  • ~7.5K Resistance (pre-installation)

  • Lightly Potted
