Alternative 8 High-Output Pickup

Keith Merrow tries out our first production pickup to use an Alnico 8 magnet, the Alternative 8 starts with hot coils wound for maximum output. With the addition of the Alnico 8 magnet, output is enhanced with a huge, punchy sound, full of fat mids and present upper-mids. This is a dynamic pickup that doesn’t get “sizzly“ or dark like some high-output ceramic magnet pickups.
