Description du produit

Technical & Application info:


	The Baseplate is Laser engraved with all Identity info

The bridge pickup in the P.A.F Suite. Weapon of choice for Tone connoisseurs.

Direct replacement for conventional humbuckers such as Gibson, Duncan etc. Some guitars (a few Ibanez, some Fender Strat and one or two others) have pickups with excessively rounded corners. If a pickguard is fitted (for example Fender Strat Deluxe) a small modification to the pickguard opening to accommodate a Kinman humbucker is well worth the effort since Kinman's sound so much better. The cavity in the body is suitable as it is.

NEWS Flash 15-Dec-2020 - Now available with 47.5mm pole spread that suits the neck position prefectly on Gibson's and and other guitars that have a narrow 52mm spaced bridge. This has been made possible with our CLCT (Coil Length Compensation Technology) that restores the performance that is lost when poles are spaced closer together.

Covers and colors

Open top Natural Nickel-Silver, highly recommended and have zero impact on sonic performance

Electro real Gold plating on closed top covers does impact on treble frequencies.
