Monty's Retro Wind Humbucker Pickup Set - Raw Nickel
Vintage-Voiced Pickups For The Discerning Modern Player
The Monty's Retro Wind Humbucker, formerly known as the Humdinger, is a vintage-voiced humbucker pickup that offers a modern twist. It is slightly hotter than a vintage humbucker and has a tight bass response, a slight mid-range bite, and dynamic highs. The coils are slightly unbalanced to preserve highs and increase clarity. The pickups are wax potted, resulting in a more present and direct sound with fewer harmonic overtones, making them ideal for cutting through crowded mixes. They can handle significant amounts of gain and come with four-conductor connector wire, allowing for versatile wiring options. The neck pickup has an Alnico V magnet with 7.4k resistance, while the bridge pickup has an Alnico IV magnet with 8.2k resistance.

WAYS TO PAY:
Monty's Retro Wind Humbucker (formerly known as the Humdinger) is a vintage-voiced humbucker with a modern twist. Slightly hotter than a true vintage humbucker, it has a tight response in the bass, with a slight bite in the mids and lush, dynamic highs. As with all Monty's humbuckers, the coils are ever so slightly unbalanced in order to preserve highs and increase clarity.
These pickups are wax potted, resulting in a more present, direct sound than many vintage humbuckers, with fewer harmonic overtones. This makes these pickups great for cutting through even the most crowded of mixes. Whilst a well-designed unpotted pickup should be able to handle serious amounts of gain, the wax potting of the Retro Wind ensures that it will always behave itself, no matter what you throw at it.
Monty's Retro Wind Humbuckers come with four conductor connector wire as standard, allowing you to wire them in almost any way imaginable.
