Storyteller - brilliant clarity and dynamics, Alnico 3, low wind
from NZ$180.00
Storyteller set
The Storyteller set is built for players who want that timeless classic humbucker tone, but don't want to settle for off-the-rack machine made stuff that's the same as everyone else.
Each set is wound and aged entirely by hand in Auckland, featuring 100% pure nickel covers that have been individually reliced for true vintage character. No two are ever alike, making this (and every) Storyteller set a true one-of-one.
The bridge pickup follows the tried and tested PAF recipe, but revamped for modern playing. The frequent drawbacks have been addressed (too bright, too thin, too weak), giving it a tighter richer low end, smoother detailed highs, and more authority in the mids. It retains that unmistakable and iconic PAF snarl and roar, powered by an Alnico 5 magnet.
The neck pickup is a thing of beauty, built around a vintage-correct Alnico 3 magnet that delivers unmatched transparency and dynamic response under the fingers. It offers a sweet, open top end with a lush depth to the lower mids that stays clear and articulate. Nothing responds to your playing like an Alnico 3, so if you're a player that values nuance, subtlety, but still wants to rock out when the time is right, this is the one.
Both pickups are asymmetrically scatterwound for improved frequency response, more detail in the highs, and a broad dynamic range that responds beautifully to your playing. Cleanup with the volume control is smoother and more musical, and the 4-conductor shielded wiring provides modern versatility for coil splitting or other switching options (series/parallel is fantastic on neck HBs). The Storyteller set reads 8.9k (bridge) and 7.1k (neck), perfectly balanced for a Les Paul or similar dual-humbucker guitar.
Every set tells its own story.
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
Stated DCR is ± 10% because they are wound by hand and not a homogeneous machine.
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.
