Introduced Aug-13.

Direct replacement for conventional humbuckers such as Gibson, Duncan etc. Some guitars (a few Ibanez, some Fender Strat and one or two others) have pickups with excessively rounded corners. If a pickguard is fitted (for example Fender Strat Deluxe) a small modification to the pickguard opening to accommodate a Kinmanusa humbucker is well worth the effort since Kinmanusa’s sound so much better. The cavity in the body is suitable as it is.

Reasons it sounds so good: There are other similar pickups on the market with Alnico rod magnets, but these simplistic pickups lack ooomph. The Twang-Bucker is far more complex and incorporates our exclusive Patented technology which gives it a lot of ooomph, outstanding clarity and explosive dynamics.

The Twang-Bucker has low-string-pull proprietary Alnico-5 magnets and Kinmanusa’s recently Patented technology which increases Inductance without adding more turns of wire to the coils. That’s the reason our Twang-Bucker has a lot of kick, snap and power and very strong and sharp twang; yet is clear and transparent and sweeter than any Strat pickup.

Hook-up cable

• 2 conductor shielded hook-up cable. 380mm / 15 ” long.
• upon request: 3 conductor with outer shield for phase reversal.

Connection means available

• Bare wires for soldering.
• Kinmanusa connectors for plugging into any Kinmanusa Goodbye-Soldering Harness.- including the 2 pickup KHP-90 for Gibsons.

Output Polarity:

• in-phase with Gibson and Copy humbuckers
• in-phase with all other Kinmanusa pickups
• opposite phase to Fender Strat
• Can be phase reversed by specifying 3 Conductopr Hook-Up cable when ordering

Pot & Capacitor values

• Best with 500k Ohm for Volume & Tone. Many Gibson ‘s have 300k which makes a darker, less dynamic sound.
• Tone pot is usually the same value as the volume but for a little more top end brightness can be 1meg or a No-Load.
• Normal tone cap value of 0.022µF, 63 ~ 100 volt Polyester. Smaller value lessen the severity of Treble cut, higher values increase it.

Magnet spread

• 47.5mm for the neck position when the bridge saddle spread measures 52mm
• 50mm only, so suitable for all other applications except bridge position of a Strat with vintage 6 point bridge, Telecaster bridge and bridge position in other guitars with a bridge saddle spread greater than 54mm.
• For bridge position in Strats with a vintage 6 point bridge sorry there is no companion bridge pickup available at this time except a 580 (P-90 Hx).

Magnet Staggers

• Fixed magnet stagger suiting 7 ~ 14 ” uniform radius fretboards (Gibson, most Fender etc)
• Fixed magnet stagger suiting 14 ‘ ~ 20 ” Including Warmoth 10~16 ” Compound Radius & 2010 onwards Fender Deluxe 9 ~ 14 “.
• Option to change the magnet stagger in our ‘After-Payment Supplementary Questions ‘ email we send you.
