Stormy Monday humbucker
BUY ONLINE handwound just for you
The Stormy Monday is a sweet, articulate humbucker with warm bass, hollow mids and smooth high end that is extremely clear and dynamic.
Authentically vintage in both voicing and output, the Stormy Monday humbucker is completely handwound with vintage correct 42 AWG plain enamel wire and handcrafted with butyrate bobbins, calibrated sand cast Alnico II magnet, solid nickel silver baseplate and cover.
As with the early 'Patent Applied For' (PAF) humbuckers, the coils are wound asymmetrically for extended frequency response and touch sensitive feel. The Stormy Monday faithfully reproduces the tones of the brighter '57 and '58 era PAFs with smooth natural sustain, wonderful pick dynamics and string separation. Low notes have warmth and fullness; the highs are sweet and mellow while the mids are slightly scooped producing a soft, percussive vintage tone.

Bare Knuckle PickupsCustomer Reviews
Just wanted to say how much I really enjoy my set of Stormy Monday's! The bridge especially is probably the most honest pickup I've ever played and it's just so sweet and bubbly! I could go on and on, but I'll end with THANK YOU FOR MAKING SPECTACULAR PICKUPS!
Your Stormy Mondays sound incredibly just like the old Gibson PAF pickups and too me, better. No matter where your volume on the amp or guitar are set, they have those crisp articulate highs, the mids are cut perfectly, the lows are strong enough to be present and yet not dark and muddy. They also have that distinctive chirp that the original 59s have. Furthermore, they don’t lose any of that when driven with pedals or amp gain. You folks have nailed it with your Stormy Mondays!
