PAINKILLER HUMBUCKER
THE PAINKILLER HUMBUCKER IS THE ULTIMATE HIGH OUTPUT 'DJENT' HUMBUCKER WITH RAW AND FOCUSED GRINDING CRUNCH, EXTREMELY FAST BASS RESPONSE AND AGGRESSIVE UPPER MID IMPACT.
The hi-mid peak of the Painkiller humbucker together with its powerful triple ceramic magnet design makes it the perfect pickup for progressive technical metal styles. A combination of tight, resonant lows and intense pick attack lets the Painkiller dominate and punch through any mix. Clarity is never compromised, no matter how much gain is applied or how low the tuning and, as with the Cold Sweat, pick harmonics are totally effortless.
The Painkiller neck humbucker is powered by a custom size ceramic bar magnet for masses of power and liquid-like sustain as well as matching the bridge in output. Although not the major role of a high output ceramic humbucker, clean tones have a fat, modern voice with the combination of bridge and neck being particularly good.
APPLICATIONS

SUITABILITY
Any solid-body; heavily detuned and extended range guitars; any guitar needing stronger upper mid punch, faster bottom end response and a brighter cut in the highs.

TRILOGY SUITE SINGLE COIL STRAT
THE TRILOGY SUITES ARE A HIGH OUTPUT SET OF SINGLE COILS WITH A MUSCULAR 'P90-ESQUE' TONE DEEP, RESONANT BASS, WIDE MID RANGE RESPONSE AND A TOTALLY MODERN VOICE.
Trilogy Suite single coils are designed for players who want anything but a vintage tone. They have all the character and extended frequency response of a true single coil, partnered with a hot wind of modern polysol wire and Alnico V rods. The result is a high output Strat set with real contemporary character. A slightly more compressed dynamic means single notes have incredible sustain, and when used with an overdriven amp they create a rich, saturated tone with big harmonic overtones. The highs remain full and clear no matter how much preamp gain is applied, while low notes are defined and focused. Back off the overdrive and the Trilogy Suite set clean up perfectly and judicious use of the volume pot accesses a huge range of modern clean tones.
APPLICATIONS
- Jazz, Fusion, Alternative, Hard Rock, Progressive, Heavy Metal.
SUITABILITY
Alder, Swamp Ash and mahogany body Strats style guitars: ideal for adding extra body to basswood and equally at home with maple, rosewood and even ebony boards.
