HANDMADE "SMOOTH TOP"
Classic Looks, Classical Sound |
|
|
|
The state of the art magnetic jazz pickup. The Armstrong Handmade Adjustable PAF is peerlessly quiet, fat and smooth, all handmade with an elegant matte black epoxy body. It is the pickup of choice for many major builders including Andersen, Campellone, Comins, Manzer and many others.
Available in either 6 or 7 string configuration.
Each pickup individually handmade
in the USA by Kent. |
This is the world's only floating pickup
that combines the brilliant response of traditional single coil design, with the flexibility of individually adjustable pole pieces for each string. The single coil winding and Alnico magnet replicates the wider frequency response of the classic pickups of the 40's and 50's, but careful shielding and rock-solid epoxy potting makes them much more resistant
to noise and interferences.
In addition, Kent has tapped the coil with three connector lugs, so the player may choose either of two output impedances: 7K or 10K ohms, or even switch between them while playing. Pickup body is slightly arched to match the arc of a radiused fingerboard.
Available in either 6 or 7 string configuration.
Each pickup individually handmade in the USA by Kent.
