Heritage Charlie – Charlie Christian format Humbucker

This “Heritage Charlie” is inspired by the reissues of Charlie Christian from the 70s, in humbucker format. It is nothing more and nothing less than a P90 equipped with a single rail rather than a row of 6 screws. The advantages of rail are no longer in doubt. This providing more inductance, therefore bass, low mid and power, it is possible to lighten the winding. And a smaller winding provides more dynamics and favors the treble. Here we have a microphone, which, despite a fairly low resistance compared to a classic P90, has the power of a vintage P90 but with more bass, more headroom in clean sound and a good headroom of gain. The attack is frank, very twangy if you get into it, very single coil.

The two raw Alnico chosen for this set, Alnico 3 for the neck and Alnico 4 for the bridge give a purely vintage character to this set.
The neck pickup has deep, warm bass and singing highs. It will delight fans of blues and Jazz as well as Grunge or Indie guitarists and Fuzz fans as well. The bridge pickup, more wound and equipped with more powerful magnets, delivers a purely organic, meaty sound. Very dynamic, it can nevertheless withstand significant saturation levels. It will take you to the lands of pure and hard Rock, to Stoner, Doom and even Punk. The adjective that certainly best characterizes this microphone set: organic!
