HB Sinner & Saint Set

Before I dived into the tonal investigation of the vintage sound universe, I was of course a big fan of the new (80s) hard & heavy rock music: Eddie Van Halen, Adrian Vandenberg (Whitesnake 1987), Eddie Martinez (Robert Palmer's Addicted to love & Simply irresistible), Gary Moore (Wild Fontier) Al di Meola etc.! Back then, I started winding "hot" humbuckers for my Floyd Rose PowerStrat and then testing them at countless gigs on the weekend. The essence of these findings and the desire of many customers and artists such as Kuddel, Dethy Borchardt and Frank Pané for a little more aggressive gain & punch challenged me to include such pickups in my portfolio. After several prototypes, I received an immediate positive response the industry and knew that this is it! A feedback that stuck in my mind is the one Kuddel (Die Toten Hosen) wrote: "These pickups are really fun to play!" From then on, series production was a done deal!

How do I describe the sound of the set? Maybe like this: It has a typical PAF voicing as a basis, but the tone definitely has more punch, more juice and aggressiveness! The neck pickup is reminiscent of the legendary flute tones of Slash's Paula lead sound in Guns & Roses. The bridge pickup packs a punch with its heavy mids, decent bite and hearty growl - There's no better way to describe it that saying "right in the face!" And: sustain, sustain, sustain. A perfect humbucker set!

Sinner & Saint pickups are always aged lightly. If you'd like to have other specs than the ones offered here, feel free to contact us.

including mounting screws, mounting springs and matching capacitors for the tone pots

Note: Potentiometers and capacitors affect your sound very significantly. Most companies ship guitars without measuring these parts, so it's always a "hit and miss" story. Therefore, for best results, we recommend adding our premium DIY / prewired wiring harness kit, which is listed below.
