The first pickup from this century. Huge top and bottom end. Huge passive design. Cool looks.
This radical departure from pickup design is aluminum based, rather
than copper. Result: less resistance, higher output coupled to a
"current driven design" as opposed to conventional voltage based
pickups.
The aluminum water jet cut exoskeleton is then matted to a micro
winding using 90% less fine copper wire, a low impedance/high impedance
pickup is then created.
Sonic Evaluation
More
bass then traditional single coils, more volume, mids are slightly more
then conventional pickups. Highs are clear yet smooth, nicely equalized.
Specs
With a 5-position switch they provide surprisingly very stratty in between tones.
Pickgaurd Note: Alumitones require a rectangular cutout, simple modification is usually required.

"Overdriving the alumitone brings out its' great
performance, as it cuts through the mix and excels where most single
coils start to run off."
"The new look for pickups really sets off my guitar like one one else in the room."
Alumitone Humbucker
Broadband
response like our single coil version, but voiced for the classic mid
range response humbucker tone. Installing two of these Alumitones on
your guitar will save you 1/3lb of weigh and increase your guitars
resonance!
