Suitable For: Blues, jazz, classic and hard rock—rich vintage character with smooth articulation and modern clarity under gain.
Smooth, articulate, and harmonically rich—the Alcyone set captures the timeless spirit of late‑’50s humbuckers while offering the output and balance demanded by modern players. Built with Alnico V magnets and vintage‑spec Plain Enamel wire, it delivers authentic PAF warmth with enhanced punch and clarity across the frequency spectrum.
The Alcyone bridge sits in the sweet spot of a hot PAF, measuring around 9.5k DCR. It delivers pristine cleans with dynamic touch response and opens up beautifully under gain—thick, full, and harmonically complex without losing articulation. Whether pushed through a vintage combo or a modern high‑gain head, it maintains its composure, yielding a rich, organic breakup ideal for classic and hard rock alike.
The Alcyone neck complements it perfectly: warm, full, and balanced, with just the right amount of midrange focus. Its rounded attack and open top end make it an excellent choice for jazz cleans, soulful blues phrasing, and smooth, sustaining leads. Together, the set offers the tonal depth and responsiveness that define great vintage humbuckers—with just enough extra heat to stand tall in any mix.
