Warman 12 Gauge Super overwound 12 pole neck humbucker hot pickup – Neck position in black
The Warman 12 Gauge is a truly distinctive hot humbucker. Brilliant white super over wound twin coils topped by massive 9mm over sized satin black hex screw pole pieces. These produce a huge magnetic field giving a unique tone. Masses of bottom end and mids with no loss of highs. This is the neck humbucker to match and compliment the 12 Gauge bridge humbucker
4 way wiring enables you to use it either as a powerful single coil in 6 gauge mode, or wire both coils together either in series or parallel to let loose with both barrels.
Its wound to 7.11k which produces a very warm 4.88 Henries of inductance ( power ). It is wound to be the matched twin of the bridge version. This provides a true balance across the two pickups when they are used together. The resonant curve of the pickup shows some interesting eddy currents in the low and mid ranges. Peak response is 9166 kHz which balances off the mellower tone you get from the strings oscillating over a wider arc at the neck position.
To give you some idea of the power of the pickups. – DiMarzio ( TM ) Dual sound pickup with the coils in series, i.e at its most powerful setting, has an inductance of 6.4 Henry. An EMG-Select SEHG has an inductance of 4.2 Henry.
