Windbrane-the mini-humbucker
Vintage P.A.F-Epiphone style mini-humbuckers!
Unlike the Norlin era mini-humbuckers most people emulate, the Windbrane features 42 awg plain enamel windings, rough cast AlNiCo 2 magnets that gives clean, smooth power for great woody, bluesy tones. These hand wound P.A.F style mini-humbuckers are the missing link in vintage pickup tones. However, push them and you can also hear shades of Pete Townshend. Available in chrome only.
Hi Rod,
Ok, now the accurate test on my Hiwatt 1972 DR-504, and..., just KILLER ! I think I've been more impressed than my tech. The detail of each note on my guitar is so much more articulate and this from bass strings to thin strings. I was blown away. It is much more powerful than the 70's mini hbs. And yes, I was completely right on one point about your pickups, they capture the sound of the wood, they are "woody" sounding. If you play them arpeggios this is where you hear theses pups are impressive, each note sound like bell, on my Hiwatt head it is absolutely wonderful. Your pups are killer, I was very impressed. I think I won't touch nothing on this guitar, it is perfect.
Best regards,
Didier
