Obsidian Strat Pickup

   The Axebuilder Obsidian is a high output, true single coil, Strat pickup. Its clean tone is warm and dark, yet still glassy. Not dull or muddy sounding like other high output pickups can be. Neck and Middle position are full & punchy. Similar in tone to a P90, but with that Strat sparkle. Positions 2 & 4 on a traditional 5-way switch still retain the classic Strat quack.      The Obsidian bridge position pickup has been fine tuned to have plenty of output, but still has a lively, responsive feel. It is actually similar in tone to humbucker. Crank up the gain to hear the obsidian really shine! Check out the dirty and high gain demos below to hear them in action!     Please note that while these pickups are high output and sound great with overdrive and distortion, they are true single coils and still have 60 cycle hum. The middle pickup is RWRP for hum canceling in positions 2 & 4 on a standard 5-way switch, but positions 1, 3, & 5 will still have single coil 60 cycle
