Inspired by the iconic tones of a certain top-hatted Les Paul wielding hero but brought up to date for modern players, the Sundog set is all about bluesy rock tones with a bit more juice under the hood.
The Sundog set uses Alnico 2 magnets for smoother highs, rounder lows, and a more open/less compressed midrange than say, alnico 5, which is brighter, tighter, but also a little stiff and harsh/scratchy sounding in the top end. Alnico 2 responds beautifully to your playing dynamics and are the perfect match for anything from singing soulful leads (while standing on top of a grand piano?) to snarly rock to laid back warm jazzy chords. Winding the bridge a little hotter brings the power when you want it.
A lot of jazz and blues players love the Sundog in the neck - they love the round squishy low end warmth, top end fidelity and nuance, and value the touch response.
Alnico 2 makes a different feeling pickup than the other magnets and it's a pickup you play just like you play the guitar (you'll see what I mean). Asymmetrically scatter wound to around 9k (bridge) and 7.3k (neck), wax potted, modern 4 conductor wiring.
Perfect for just about everything except super downtuned chug metal (I have others for that).
SHOWN: Zebra coils. You can pick what you like :)
PLEASE NOTE:
All Kingdom Pickups are built by hand and as such the lead time is generally 1-3 weeks from order depending on parts availability. While we keep a small inventory on hand, we cannot guarantee your order will be in stock but we will build it ASAP
Pickups are wax potted in our own proprietary blend of waxes and oils featuring beeswax from our friend Jason’s organic apiary in the Bay of Plenty
All humbuckers are 4 wire conducting
Spacing: Bridge = 52mm, Neck = 50mm
WIRING: Green & Bare = GROUND. Black = HOT. White & red = SPLITS.
