Full Description

The Alnico 2 Classic is a superb humbucker set for guitars that need more warmth, fullness and sustain.

At higher gain settings, the Alnico II Classic really nails the fluid distortion sound of players like Slash, who use the smooth attack and longer sustain of the neck to great effect during solos, and the tighter, fizzier tones available from the bridge for rock rhythm work.

All AC2 pickups are fully wax potted to avoid microphonic feedback, and come supplied with #3/48 screws, springs and an installation guide.

Available individually or as a set.  Four conductor wiring as standard on all models.

These are fantastic pickups! I have them in a couple of my guitars, and they sound wonderful, both in humbucker and split coil mode. I highly recommend them!

These things SLAP

Bought these to replace the cheap humbuckers on a chinese SG copy, which had already somewhat decent pickups, surprisingly. Was just lacking some sustain, especially in the bridge position.
Glad I've done this upgrade. I'm super impressed about the sound coming out of these, i can't put the guitar down now.

Perfect

I bought these for a 2 humbucker tele build. With cts pots, these are awesome. Cut the tone knob down, and I get the perfect Clapton in Cream tone. Don't spend the money on S.D. Or Gibson .Get these for way less.
