Pre-owned in excellent condition, this Martin A Smith H90 & Vintage Humbucker pickup set compliment each other perfectly. This set consists of a H90 neck pickup and a Vintage Humbucker bridge pickup.
These pickups present as near-new and are ready to bring some awesome tones to your favourite axe. The Vintage Humbucker features a 4 conductor wiring configuration.
From Martin A Smith
H90
My take on the P90 sound in a humbucker sized format - the neck pickup is hand-wound to approximately 9.2k, while the bridge is wound to approximately 9.5k using plain enamel wire.
Both positions use degaussed A5 magnets and are voiced to replicate the full round tone and classic bite of a P90.
Available with nickel, chrome or gold covers.
As standard these pickups are not wax potted to achieve a more open and detailed sound.

Vintage Humbucker
Made with 42awg plain enamel wire, butyrate bobbins*, nickel-silver baseplate, maple spacers and specially selected steel pole-pieces, slugs and keeper bars.
The standard specs for these are:
Neck pickup uses a rough-cast A4 magnet and is hand-wound to approximately 7.5k, while the bridge has a rough-cast slighly degaussed A5 magnet and is wound to approximately 8.5k. Middle position humbuckers are also available, wound to 8.0k with an A4 magnet.
They both have a relatively high bobbin offset to give the pickups that sought-after vintage "Tele on steroids" tone, with tight, clear lows and sparkly highs, great clarity and string definition.
Available uncovered or with nickel, raw nickel, brushed nickel, chrome or gold covers (covers are AUD $10 extra per pickup). Bobbin options include double black, zebra, reverse zebra, double cream** or double white.
As standard these pickups are not wax potted to achieve a more open and detailed sound.
