Versatile Sonic Palette

The HSS configuration comprised of an Alan Entwistle Dark Star humbucker Neodymium pickup in the bridge, and two single coil XS62N in the middle and neck positions offer the perfect balance of tones for to use and explore. The Alan Entwistle humbucker gives you that beefy, crunchy, and full-fat tone that is great for lead and soloing. These humbuckers are perfectly suited for a heavier style of playing, great for rock and metal genres that are articulate and expressive by design. On top this, the humbucker gives you the ability to coil tap, giving you even more tonal options for a twangy and bright sound.

The XS62N single coils utilise two stress-field Neodymium magnets that produce a hot and powerful tone, whilst retaining that iconic single coil voicing offering you a range of glassy, lush, and clean soundscapes. When adding gain, these pickups really start to shine, offering you a versatile and expansive sonic experience for a commanding presence that is perfect for blues, rock, and metal.
