Nighthawk (bridge)
Position: Bridge
Genre Ratings -
CCM: 4/10
Jazz: 6/10
Rock: 8/10
Metal: 6/10
Description: A deceptively powerful bridge pickup that defies expectations with its surprising aggression despite modest output levels. The Nighthawk's creative scatter-winding technique unlocks tremendous scream and sustain that belies its 9k ohm rating, delivering the kind of raw energy typically associated with much hotter pickups. This unique construction creates exceptional distortion character and rock attitude while maintaining crisp articulation and tight response under higher gain settings. The scatter-wound design prevents the muddiness that often plagues higher-output pickups, instead providing clear note separation and dynamic response that adapts to your playing intensity. Perfect for players who want aggressive rock tones without sacrificing clarity or clean headroom.
Technical Specifications:
Output: Low-medium (9k ohms)
Magnet: Alnico V bar magnet
Construction: Creative scatter-wound pattern with adjustable pole pieces
Baseplate: Nickel-plated
Wiring: 4-conductor lead wire (enables series, parallel, and coil-split options)
Potting: Wax potted for squeal-free performance
Pairs well with the Rx in the neck
