The Radiator
MEET THE RADIATOR
Looking for a rich sounding, high output Humbucker with a fat vintage-styled tone? Turn up the heat with The Radiator! This is the hottest humbucker in our humbucker range. Made especially for those who are about to rock. This humbucker is redesigned for maximum tone, using 43 AWG Plain Enamel wire (which is usually only found on some Telecaster Neck pickups) and AlNiCo 5 magnets in both pickups. If you love playing those steamy, sweaty rock ’n roll tunes, then this is your new pickup. Like all our pickups, this set is waxpotted by hand for ultimate tone without nasty microphonics.
