Pickup Switching:


1. Bridge (Hum Canceling): This position has the most "edge" or "bite". Overwound for a big, powerful tone without sounding too dark, a great tool to push an amp into singing distortion. Perfect for solos or in-your-face rhythm parts, the HB-2+ humbucker possesses a bold, rich tone that is equally capable in any musical style.
2. Bridge + Neck (Hum Canceling): This position combines the tonalities of the neck and bridge humbuckers. Thick creamy mids, big round bass and clear trebles make this a great all-around tone.
3. Neck (Hum Canceling): This position produces a warm, round tone great for anything from singing lead lines to clean rhythm lines.
