    • 6.01K (mid)

      The sandcast alnico 5 magnets were sealed before winding in my own resin formula to prevent magnet to wire failure
      Wound with a beautiful bright red modern poly-nylon AWG42 wire and potted in paraffin/bees wax to silence microphonics. Vintage black/white cloth wiring about 12″ long for the most demanding hookups. Vintage surgical rubber tubing with nickel screws

      Dripping with tone and ready to rock
      They will shine in Blues, Rock, Jazz or Country any genre you put them through !
