The Alternative 8 humbucker uses high output coils along with a
powerful Alnico 8 magnet to give you the sweet treble response of
an Alnico 2 magnet with the midrange emphasis of Alnico 5 and the
power of a ceramic. The result is a huge, punchy, high-output
sound that doesn’t get fizzy, and cuts through without sounding
harsh. Match it with the ’59 neck or Jazz neck model for a
perfectly balanced setup.
