Smooth Operator is a humbucker with a true vintagecharacter. This
pickup has medium output, the treble is warmer compared with the
standard vintage model. The midrange is full and literally dripping of
tone ready to jump into your amp. The Smooth Operator is built around
an Alnico 2 magnet of the vintage correct " PAF-lenght" of 63,5 mm.
Since Alnico 2 has a softer magnetic field than the more frequenly used
Alnico 5, it lets your strings vibrate more freely and you will get
more sustain. It is wound with the darkbrown Plain Enamel wire for
right sound and look.(not shown in picture) The overall tone is
smoother with less sharp edges and your instruments natural wooden tone
shines through. This pickup has been made for some of my most demanding
customers for some time. Now it can be made for you as bridge or neck
model, or as a calibrated set of two.
