Our Very Vintage specification is 7k to 7.5k. The REAL classic Gibson Sound, crisp clean tone, punchy, warm overdrive. - the all-around pickup with singing, smooth character.
Also more than terrific for Jazz and clean players.
Smooth "Crunchy" breakup and sweet sustain.
Grab a set of Very Vintage's for a guitar that is too dark sounding - you will love it!
Our Blues Model is 7.5 to 8k duplicating the slight overwind found on lots of 50's guitars.
Tone is warmer, a bit hotter than the Very Vintage but nowhere into the excess distortion and muddy tone of other "hot" pickups.
Tone is clear, with a warm midrange and lots of sustain.
A lot of the most famous players had Vintage Gibsons with pickups that had ACCIDENTIALLY been overwound to this Blues Spec - stronger, they drive the amp into overdrive a little easier
A favorite for blues and rock players with a great blend of easy overdrive and very good clarity when you back off of the volume control.
Also very, very good for classic Jazz tone in arch top guitars. - that warm, "dusky" smooth tone
Got a guitar that is heavy and bright? - Drop in a calibrated set of Torres Blues or Rock pickups and get that axe's tone HAPPENING!
The Rock model is 8.5 to 9k, and duplicates the tone of the considerably overwound pickups on old Les Pauls. The guitars with this tone are some of the "standards" for great guitar sound.
Tone is real big, fat, with a warm midrange - they DO NOT lose highs like other hot pickups as even 9k with 42 gauge wire is not excessive impedence.
Lots of output and real singing sustain.
Note: Delivery time on humbuckers pickups is about 1 week.
NOW - MATCHED CALIBRATED SETS AVAILABLE - THE BRIDGE PICKUP IS STRONGER THEN THE NECK for a balanced volume level from your guitar's selector switch - see the Torres Humbucker web page for discounted matched sets - a great deal on an already-great-deal!
