Think classic Brit Blues players of the late sixties. The HV58 has the sound down to a tee. The development of this legendary pickup took many hours, and a bin-ful of rejected windings. To get it just right, Alan went on sound over specification, listening for hours to those incredible players on those incredible albums. Fully Beano certified!

Alnico V magnets, enamel coated winding wire, scatter-wound coils, and hard nickel pole pieces. These humbucker pickups are wax potted, but unlike modern pickup designs they are not vacuum processed as this reduces the natural gaps in the windings, which is partly responsible for the vintage flavour and response. Just a very versatile humbucker whether your sound is clean, crunch or…….beyond.

Choose from the equally attractive Nickel or Gold coloured casing for the classic PAF-style humbucker look, or ‘Zebra’ if you prefer the classic ‘open’ look.

Our non-potted version of the classic late ’50s humbucker pickup, made to vintage specifications. Featuring Alnico V magnetics, enamel coated winding wire, scatter-wound coils, and hard-nickel pole pieces, these guitar pickups deliver authentic vintage character. These pickups are NOT potted, so are ideal for the aficionado seeking that true, authentic sound. Although not suited to the high-gain player, they are perfect for low-gain, classic-style amps. This one is for the true vintage enthusiast.

This is wound like our classic HV58 but with a Neodymium bar magnet replacing the standard Alnico one. It stands out as a unique guitar pickup in its own right – a humbucker with the versatility to mimic tones of a single coil. With its ability to effortlessly cut through any mix, it delivers vintage-like tones with heightened treble and added grunt.

Our overwound version of the classic late ’50s, vintage-spec humbucker, crafted with Alnico V magnetics, enamel-coated winding wire, scatter-wound coils, and hard-Nickel pole-pieces. Great for coil splitting. These guitar pickups are overwound, so expect more power, and more warmth than the standard version.

While wax potted for stability, unlike modern designs, they are not vacuum processed, thus preserving the natural gaps in the windings crucial for vintage flavour and response.

Choose between our ‘Nickel’, ‘Dark Gold’ or ‘White Gold’ coloured, adjustable pole pieces in the drop-down boxes. Note that the ‘white gold-coloured’ poles exhibit a subtle gold hue, distinct from traditional nickel appearance. Feel free to contact us if you need advice.

The HVX represents a versatile medium-output humbucker pickup. Picture a hotter PAF, with enhanced top-end, slightly nasal mids and a tight bottom end. Essentially, an over-wound HV58 (like the HV58 PLUS) but with a Ceramic magnet, giving it a distinct tonal quality.

The HVX performs well with coil-splitting and parallel wiring. It also excels when wired out of phase with another HVX guitar pickup.

Alan Entwistle guitar pickups are supplied unboxed and with mounting screws and springs (where model-appropriate). All our humbucker guitar pickups are wired with the ability to be coil-split so a wiring diagram is provided that shows how to wire for ‘standard non-split’, ‘simple split’, ‘partial phasing’ and ‘series/parallel’ configurations. 

We recommend that an experienced guitar technician installs your Alan Entwistle humbucker pickups.

This is the Neodymium version of the Dark Star, taking things to the next level, proving popular with the metalhead Entwistle fans. It is quite possibly the worlds most powerful passive humbucker. The bridge position has a similar DCR to the HDN, but  has a different tonal character due to it’s different winding pattern.

The Neodymium magnet adds output power, punch and articulation. Great results await those experimenting with coil splits to add a bright, single-coil character to an already outstanding and versatile humbucker.

The X3 is a seriously high-powered ceramic rail guitar pickup. With a fully wound-up 16K in the bridge and a well-balanced 12K in the neck, it offers exceptional power and balance. Thanks to its dual rail design, you can even use the neck pickup in the bridge position for a more articulate top end. Unlike many humbucker designs, the X3 delivers excellent results when coil splitting.

Here is something a little different. The combination of a blade over one of the coils, and pole pieces over the other, combining to form a complex and unusual signal output. Further, when using the 4-core wiring to access the individual coils, a unique variation of a single pickup is available.

We’ve taken the concept of the Nemesis to the next level with the AFG (Asymmetrical Field Generator). The name says it all. The Nemesis AFG has a central Alnico V bar magnet, paired with a Ceramic magnet on the blade side of the pickup, creating the asymmetrical magnetic field. This results in a more authentic single-coil sound with minimal volume-drop when the coil split is activated.

Currently available with Black or Nickel pole pieces!

HDN, or High Definition Neodymium, marked our first venture into Neodymium guitar pickups, and in fact being one of the very first Neodymium pickups in the world. Boasting high output, yet delivering razor-sharp definition, it’s no wonder that some active pickup users have made the switch to HDN. It truly embodies ‘Power with Tone’.

Choose a Nickel-coloured, metal pickup ring / surround for either the Nashville ND humbucker or HV MINI humbucker. See individual pickup listings for pickup dimensions. Each pickup ring fixes to the guitar body via four screw holes (screws not included).

Nashville ND pickup ring is NOT compatible with the Nashville Classic guitar pickups. The Nashville ND pickups are not mounted through the pickup directly to the guitar body.

Please ensure compatibility with your guitar pickup before ordering. Contact us if you are not sure.
