Kinman AV-n-62 MK1 Pickup

AVn-62 Mk-I is the neck and middle pickups in the Blues set. SCn is the bridge pickup. One customer rated the Blues set as the outstanding best after he tried Fender Hot Noiseless, DiMarzio Virtual Solo/Virtual Vintage '54 Pro/Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2, Woodstock Plus. You can expect aged sound with Zero-Hum, longer sustain, minimized fret buzz and warm, mellow, sweet bluesy tone. It's also good for modern rhythm lines. You might like the warm vintage sound because it has more midrange coloration meaning less brilliant highs. It's slightly louder than a stock Strat* single coil, and has a fatter, warmer tone than regular non-noiseless pickups. You'll love the boxing glove attack and low-note growl factor. No nasty, jagged ice-pick-in-the-ear annoyance that makes your ears hurt while the bass has an understated classic vintage warmth. It has quite a responsive feel. It doesn't matter if your playing style is slow and soulful, fast and furious, bluesy, rock or virtuoso. NOTE: The AVn-62 Mk-III is a different pickup altogether and used only in the bridge position of the Traditional Mk-III set. Works well in any Kinman Goodbye-Soldering Harness. Some people will call these noiseless Stratocaster pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Stratocaster pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to > Technical > Perfect Guitar > Shielding for newer guitars *Stratocaster and Strat are a Trade Marks of Fender Musical Instrument Kinman is not connected to Fender. ** Alnico-K is a unique proprietary rod magnet developed by Kinman in 1985. It has 40% less string pull than Alnico-5 so sustain is longer and there is much less clatter from string crash and no Strat-itis string warble.
