Tone: The A.M.P. (stands for alnico magnet polepieces) replaces the bar magnet used on most humbuckers with 12 individual rod magnets which are used as polepieces. This breaks away from typical humbucker restraints provides a bright, clear and articulate tone.

Because the A.M.P. is in effect two single coils next to each other it also allows for true single coil tone when used on a guitar with coil splitting. This is great for players that want both quality humbucker and single coil sounds from the same guitar.

Each humbucker comes with:
4 conductor hookup wire allowing for versatile wirings options.
The screws needed to mount it in your guitar.
