About the Purpleheart fretboard: « While renowned for its often deep, rich purple hues, Purpleheart is actually one of the toughest woods in the world. It is considered one of the stiffest, hardest woods — boasting an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. It is also extremely water resistant”

Kent Armstrong Handwound in UK Pickups:
ALNICO / D.C. =10.7K- If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. When introduced in 1957, the split P Pick-up was a break through in ways that many people didn’t appreciate. By keeping the two coils under two strings, this design minimises hum while retaining the clarity and transparency of a singlecoil since there is no phase cancellation. With Alnico V magnets and black covers, it’s the real deal!
