Alumitone™

The first pickup from this century. Huge top and bottom end. Huge passive design. Cool looks.

This radical departure from pickup design is aluminum based, rather than copper. Result: less resistance, higher output coupled to a "current driven design" as opposed to conventional voltage based pickups.

The aluminum water jet cut exoskeleton is then matted to a micro winding using 90% less fine copper wire, a low impedance/high impedance pickup is then created.

Sonic Evaluation
More bass then traditional single coils, more volume, mids are slightly more then conventional pickups. Highs are clear yet smooth, nicely equalized.



Specs
With a 5-position switch they provide surprisingly very stratty in between tones.

Pickgaurd Note: Alumitones require a rectangular cutout, simple modification is usually required.

Available in: Retro Finish-Standard
Polished Finish-Optional Extra Cost

Position: neck, mid, bridge

  • Resistance: 2.5k

"Overdriving the alumitone brings out its' great performance, as it cuts through the mix and excels where most single coils start to run off."

"The new look for pickups really sets off my guitar like one one else in the room."

Alumitone Humbucker

Broadband response like our single coil version, but voiced for the classic mid range response humbucker tone. Installing two of these Alumitones on your guitar will save you 1/3lb of weigh and increase your guitars resonance!

Available: Chrome, Black, Gold and Natural

Aluma 90

The Aluma 90 is a direct drop in replacement. Featuring no hum, but all the growl, depth and sparkle that a P 90 is famous for. 70% less weight then a conventional pickup.

Direct drop in replacement.

Available: Chrome or Gold
