HOT CHICKEN TELE & STRAT
For the modern Tele® player, vintage-style pickups offer classic tone but do not always cut it in a world of high-gain. What matters is capturing that old-school twang and muscle without sacrificing output or dealing with noise. Hot Chicken Tele® pickups cater to the needs of contemporary country guitarists. Ideal for high-gain demands, this noise-cancelling Stack® pickup delivers boosted output, delivering searing hotness that will cut through any mix. The Vintage Stack Tele® neck pickup perfectly complements the Hot Chicken™ Tele® bridge pickup in this set.
For the modern Strat® player, vintage spec pickups bring the tone but don’t always make the cut in this era of higher gain. What is important is something that brings spank and versatility without the lower output and noise. Hot Chicken™ Strat® pickups were designed with the contemporary country guitarist in mind. Tailored for today’s high-gain demands, these noiseless Stack® pickups deliver Stratocaster® brilliance with extra-fiery output, maintaining old-school character, clarity, and definition. Whether laying down scorching leads or simmering rhythm licks, these pickups ensure true Strat® tones without the vintage hum.
JEFF LOOMIS NOUMENON
Before active pickups like his signature Blackouts® became synonymous with Jeff Loomis’ sound in Nevermore, Arch Enemy and his solo work, Jeff’s foundational experiences in sculpting his highly influential metal tone were forged by passive humbuckers, bought from guitar catalogues in the 1980s. The Noumenon™ Signature Humbuckers call back to those formidable years, as Jeff wanted an option to achieve the dynamics and control that passive pickups offer. The 6-string Noumenon™ set is built with Alnico 8 magnets, providing high output and thick bass, while maintaining a smooth treble response. The 7-string set is built with Alnico 5 magnets, necessary for maintaining tight low end and sharp attack. All Jeff Loomis Noumenon™ Signature Humbuckers are available with triangular feet bottom plates for standard humbucker routes and direct mounting in Jeff’s signature guitars.
