Elegant and expressive, the Sunbather set was born from a search for the ideal jazz humbucker—warm, articulate, and richly dynamic. Built around Alnico II magnets and vintage-spec 42 AWG Plain Enamel wire, the set offers nuanced response and musical clarity, equally suited to clean phrasing and textured saturation.
The Sunbather bridge is wound to ~7.8k DCR and brings out full-bodied chords and dynamic rhythm work with a smooth top end and focused low-mid warmth. Perfect for jazz, funk, and clean styles, it also holds its own in more atmospheric and high-gain territory, excelling in shoegaze, post-rock, and even post-black metal where clarity and character are key.
The calibrated neck model delivers balanced, vintage warmth with stunning detail. It’s equally at home navigating the intricacies of gypsy jazz and traditional blues, or voicing lush chord extensions and fluid lead lines. Clean or driven, the Sunbather neck remains articulate and responsive, rounding out a versatile set that bridges tradition and experimentation.
