Grunge-tang
The new V2 is an innovative design created especially for covers that don’t have protruding magnets. We have also introduced the Extra bridge version; it balances better with the neck volume-wise and sounds somewhat thicker without compromising treble response or attack (there is no mud). Mustangs have a shorter scale length, so the sound will be more profound, and more throaty than the same pickup in a Strat.

Kinman Mustang pickups have special features for the Mustang that no other pickup can give you …….
Grounded magnets to prevent noise when the magnets are touched are especially desirable for switched reverse phase or series mode.
3 Conductor hook-up wiring that facilitates phase reversal and series switching.
Magnet spreads that align with the strings for excellent string loudness balance.
Nicely balanced string output levels.
Technical Stuff
Kinman pickups for Mustangs are direct replacements, and no modification to the guitar is required.
Some people will call these noiseless Mustang pickups, but Kinman describes them correctly as Zero-Hum Mustang pickups. That’s because there are two types of noise, Hum which is canceled in the pickup, and Buzz, which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars

Number of parts in this pickup: 31
Number of parts in regular single coil: 9
Number of parts in other brands noiseless: There are no other noiseless Mustang pickups with Alnico rod magnets. Kinman is the only one, making it the most excellent Mustang pickup available.
Laser engraved nomenclature so you can’t forget.
Connection means available
- Bare wires for soldering.
Hook-up wires
- Three conductors are standard. Cut precisely for the two stock Mustang positions (100mm).
- Custom lengths by request with Order.
Output Polarity:
- in-phase with all other Kinman pickups
- in-phase with Gibson and Copy humbuckers
- opposite phase to Fender Strat etc
Special features:
- we ground the magnets to prevent noise when the magnets are touched
- especially desirable when switched in series or reverse phase modes.
Pot & Capacitor values
- Best with 250k Ohm (measured), brighter and less punchy with 500k volume pot.
- The tone pot is usually the same as the volume, but a higher top-end brightness can be 500k, 1meg, or a No-Load.
- Average tone cap value of 0.022uF in 63 ~ 100 volts. A smaller value lessens the severity of the Treble cut.
Magnet spread (E-1st ~ E-6th) for perfect string-over-magnet alignment.
- Neck – Narrow 49.5mm.
- Bridge – Standard 52.5mm (American models) & Intermediate 51mm for models that have a narrow 52mm bridge.
Magnet stagger:
- Improved magnet array to suit any fretboard radius.
Pickup cavity:
- Japanese (and perhaps American) Mustangs probably need the cavity floors at 16.5mm deep deepened to 20mm, the same as the other cavities. This allows plenty of height adjustment range.
Mounting hardware included
- 2 Pan head mounting screws.
- 2 Silicon Rubber tube springs.
Covers – included
- Black Standard Kinman cover without height extender bushings.
- Also available in White and Aged White.
- With and without the Kinman logo.
- White covers can be tinted with food stains such as Coffee and Tea
- Generic covers will not fit Kinman pickups. We sell replacement covers.
We highly recommend consulting the Install Guide in Tech Info, even if you think you know it all.
We also highly recommend consulting the Adjust & Set-up page in Tech Info so you get the best out of your Kinman pickups.
