Named for carbon – the element that forms the backbone of all life – The Sixth Element is a handmade humbucker set built right here in Auckland for players who demand character, clarity, and raw musicality in equal measure.
Each pickup is wound by hand in Auckland, New Zealand, with careful attention to detail that machines simply can’t replicate.
The bridge is scatterwound to 15k for bite and authority, with the screw coil being overwound for better response and punchm while the neck sits at 7.5k with the screw coil overwound for a lovely bell-like tone offering warmth and definition without ever slipping into mud. Both are powered by polished Alnico 5 magnets, giving you that unmistakable snarl in the upper mids – perfect for cutting through a dense mix.
This is a set that absolutely loves a Les Paul or SG. The bridge delivers punch, presence, and snarly grit for hard rock and dirty blues, while the neck can move effortlessly from crystalline cleans and shimmering ambient textures to soulful, vocal-like leads.
Finished in-house and by hand our unique brushed look, The Sixth Element balances understated elegance with undeniable power.
It’s a set that doesn’t shout for attention with understated class and is equally at home playing jazz and blues as it is chugging through a 4×12 (or two).
Every pickup is wound, finished, and tested by hand. No shortcuts. Just honest craftsmanship and tone you won’t find off the rack.
Black bobbins only. No covers.
