« Andersons vintage sounding humbucker. »

Tom Anderson is a great small guitar maker from the west coast of the United States. He is one of the leading makers of custom guitars. He is mostly known for his boutique strat style guitars. When you are like him and make all your guitars from scratch you do not want to just throw in someone elses pickups to finish them off. Tom Anderson also has his own pickups custom wound to his specification to match up well with his guitars. The H1- is one of his more vintage sounding humbuckers. It has a little lower output than some of his other models but it is just as good and just as versatile. Like most of the Tom Anderson pickups it uses oversized magnets so you do not have to worry about spacing and comes with a 4 conductor wiring system like most every modern pickup. Since this pickup has a little lower output than normal it is better if used in the neck position. It can be used in the bridge position if you are just looking for vintage tones. Since the pickup has such large magnets and coils the split tones are really nice. The tone of the pickup is very paf like but more subtle The eq on this pickup is very neutral. This is to bring out the natural tones of the wood of the guitar its in. It will not overpower the natural tones of the guitar it will help bring them out. If the guitar is naturally dark the pickup will sound dark if the guitar is bright the pickup will sound bright. It is made to work well in just about any guitar. If you are looking for a nice pickup for classic rock or jazzy blues tones this pickup has all the vintage humbucking tones you are looking for.
