The old soapbar single coil pickups had a clarity of tone, without sounding thin and weak, that defined the sound of Rock and Roll and small combo jazz guitar in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s.
We wanted to try some on our McCarty model, but the search for the “right” soapbar proved difficult. Our R&D Department worked with the engineers at Seymour Duncan and designed a pickup with all the thick vintage punch of the original and a sparkling definition that's right up to the minute.
