Wide Range
This produces the fat sound typical of a larger number of coil windings than on
a conventional single-coil pickup.
Bright Humbucker
A conventional humbucking pickup places two coils side by side, causing
the high frequencies to be cancelled; however, this model produces a tone
that preserves these high frequencies while retaining the characteristics of a
humbucking pickup.
Jazz
This is a sweet sound that is ideal for playing jazz.
