The first pickup from this century. Huge top and bottom end. Huge passive design. Cool looks. See what Jeff Lace, the Man himself, has to say about this wild departure from conventional pickup technology over on This Page Here
This radical departure from pickup design is aluminum based, rather than copper. Result: less resistance, higher output coupled to a "current driven design" as opposed to conventional voltage based pickups.
The aluminum water jet cut exoskeleton is then matted to a micro winding using 90% less fine copper wire, a low impedance/high impedance pickup is then created.
Sonic Evaluation
More bass then traditional single coils, more volume, mids are slightly more then conventional pickups. Highs are clear yet smooth, nicely equalized.

"Overdriving the alumitone brings out its' great performance, as it cuts through the mix and excels where most single coils start to run off."
"The new look for pickups really sets off my guitar like one one else in the room."
