The vintage Wide-Range sound

A true replacement for the modern Wide Range / Thinline Humbucker reissue pickups. Classic fat "Doubled Up" single coil tones - Great clarity and string definition with a bright warmth. Individual threaded pole magnets charged to around 2/3rds capacity allow you to dial in each string. A warmer mid-range than standard single coils and with a higher output, they're great for breaking up an amp.  With a great fat bridge tone sounding akin to a "doubled-up" Tele and a neck with a warm, sweet brightness. Vintage nickel-silver baseplate, ferrous internal reflector plate, full-size custom bobbins with medium scatterwound coils - The Creamery Wide Range / Thinline Humbucker, a direct replacement for those modern reissues.

Calibrated Outut & Pole spacing for Bridge & Neck position

Unlike the originals & reissues, I’ve made the Classic ’71 Wide Range Humbuckers with 53mm Bridge pole spacing & 50mm pole spacing for better string definition in the neck position.

I’ve also lowered the neck output a little to give much better volume balance between bridge & neck pickup.

My vintage take on the original pickups have either 12 threaded magnets or a combination of 6 threaded magnets and 6 x hidden Alnico 2 rod magnets. With the threaded & Alnico 2 rod magnets together the tone is ever so rounder, warmer with a few less highs - Great if you want to take a little 'spank' out of the bridge position.

Only available in nickel covers.

PLEASE NOTE: These pickups are a direct drop-in replacement to fit the modern Wide Range / Humbuckers.
