The Steel Pole 43 leans more to the tone of a P-90 than a single-coil, and is perfect for musicians looking for a thick, warm, and beefy P-90 sound in a single coil position. These pickups are wound with 43-gauge coil, and feature a ceramic bar magnet that blends the P-90 and single-coil sound perfectly. The Steel Pole 43 Pickups are beefier than the Blues Specials and Steel Pole 42’s, while featuring a darker and thicker tone.

Sound:

When playing clean, these pickups sound large and rich, especially in the lows and highs. Closer to the sound of a P-90, Steel Pole 43’s still retain a beautiful openness and clarity while still remaining very dynamic. Steel Pole 43’s sound thicker in the midrange with more of a “chainsaw” grind, as opposed to a smoother AlNiCo distortion. Ideal styles of music would be heavier Blues, Rock, and anything that you want a thick midrange, and top-end bite.

FEATURES:

• P-90 Tone in a single coil spacing
• Adjustable Steel Pole Pieces for fine-tuning string response
• Huge mid-range tone with a Ceramic bite. This equals more growl and aggression
• In a set, the Bridge Pickup is calibrated to sound just as hot as the neck pickup
• Features a Ceramic Bar Magnet
