The Mini-Humbucking Pickup has always been the orphan child of the Passive Humbucking world. It’s too bad because it has the nice attribute of a narrow aperture but has always lacked in the “gain” department because it just isn’t a big enough profile to work with.
So, we gave the Mini-H a slight makeover, keeping the small dual-coil aperture but using a group of new magnetic structures not just to give it what it’s been missing, but adding a whole slew of models. We also added a new preamp design that is quieter and has plenty of headroom.
The M-50 is built using the classic “U” shaped magnetic layout with Alnico 5 Bar magnet and steel poles.
Plenty of inductance and a real beefy sound, great for driving a Marshall, but also good for slide through a Deluxe. Because the aperture is smaller than a standard humbucker the mid-range is as pronounced.
Like a mini-P-90 with a smooth overdrive.
Keep in mind that all the Mini-H Pickups have a narrow string width sense and isn’t suitable in the bridge position of Floyd Rose equipped guitars. It was designed for the Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge width, and so it shall remain. The maximum string width should be about 2 inches (51mm).
See the individual data sheets for exact magnetic width, or string spacing on the M-72 Set.
No need for string grounding, so no shock hazard. Low-impedance output so you can sound the same through a cable as well as wireless. and on top of that a 2 pickup system only requires 1.3 Milli-Amps of 9 Volt battery power. Available in Black, White, Ivory, Chrome and Brushed Chrome.
