Everything from Kingdom Pickups is made by hand, one at a time at our workshop in Auckland.
Our Caliban Hot Set is built for players who want more power and punch from their single coils. Using USA-made Alnico V magnets and wax-potted for reduced microphonics and noise, these pickups stay tight and clear even when you’re running higher gain.
With a hotter wind – around 10k in the bridge, and 9k in the neck and 6k middle – the Caliban Hot Set delivers a bigger, louder tone with longer sustain, bigger bass, and a smoother top end. The mids have a natural compression that thickens chords and makes lead lines sing, perfect for heavier genres or for when you just want a bit more juice under your fingers to push your amp harder.
This isn’t your vintage-voiced set – it’s built for presence, authority, and the satisfaction of a single coil that can hold its own in a mix without losing definition.
And yes, it will chug.
The middle pickup is also RWRP for hum cancelling in positions 2 and 4. Why pay big brand prices to sound like everyone else when you can have something made better that sounds better and costs less?
Each set of Kingdom Pickups is hand wound one at a time. No shortcuts, just real pickups built for real players.
PLEASE NOTE:
Screws, springs, and covers included.
Cover choices - black, white, or cream
Spacing = 52mm bridge, 50mm neck and middle.
DCR ratings are ± 10%
Single coil polepieces are not staggered unless stated. After a load of testing we cannot find any real reason for this to be a thing.
Lead time = 1-2 weeks. We make these by hand to order, and while we do keep a small inventory on hand, we cannot guarantee availability. Thanks!
