Everything from Kingdom Pickup is made by hand, one at a time by me in my small workshop in Auckland.
Our Kingdom Pickups Juliet Set stars USA-made Alnico II magnets: Warm, expressive, and dynamic, they're known for having softer edges, rounder, spongier lows, and sweeter highs that sing when you dig in and round off beautifully when you back off, with an open midrange that's not as compressed, scooped, or as 'hard' sounding as Alnico 5s or ceramics. While the bridge is lightly potted we leave the neck and middle untouched for total clarity and transparency.
They respond with clarity and nuance to your touch, making them a favourite for players who care about feel as much as tone.
We wind these to around 6k in the bridge and 5k in the neck and middle. We think that's the best sounding and feeling wind if you're going for a sweeter tone where you’re playing really speaks for itself. This is not a set built for high gain or metal. But for blues, jazz, pop, and any style that rewards sensitivity and dynamic playing, it's the perfect match.
Try it with a light touch of compression, some long reverb and you’ll see what we’ve been talking about all this time. Beautiful just like their namesake.
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.
The beeswax we use as part of our exclusive potting wax comes from my friend’s organic apiary in the Bay of Plenty, NZ.
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.
