{"product_id":"obsidian-strat-pickup","title":"Obsidian Strat Pickup","description":"\u003cp\u003e   \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Axebuilder Obsidian is a high output, true single coil, Strat pickup. Its clean tone is warm and dark, yet still glassy. Not dull or muddy sounding like other high output pickups can be. Neck and Middle position are full \u0026amp; punchy. Similar in tone to a P90, but with that Strat sparkle. Positions 2 \u0026amp; 4 on a traditional 5-way switch still retain the classic Strat quack. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e    The Obsidian bridge position pickup has been fine tuned to have plenty of output, but still has a lively, responsive feel. It is actually similar in tone to humbucker. Crank up the gain to hear the obsidian really shine! Check out the dirty and high gain demos below to hear them in action!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e    Please note that while these pickups are high output and sound great with overdrive and distortion, they are true single coils and still have 60 cycle hum. The middle pickup is RWRP for hum canceling in positions 2 \u0026amp; 4 on a standard 5-way switch, but positions 1, 3, \u0026amp; 5 will still have single coil 60 cycle hum. A noise gate is recommended for high gain drive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e500k pots are recommended for use with these pickups. This makes them a great choice for humbucker equipped HSS or HSH guitars. 500k pots give these pickups a little more high end response and bite. All demos below are recorded in a Strat with 500k pots. It is just a recommendation and not necessary. Stock 250k pots still work well.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Pickup Specs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnet Type = Alnico 5 \u003cbr\u003eBridge DC resistance = 12.6k\u003cbr\u003eMiddle \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC resistance = 12.1k\u003cbr\u003eNeck DC resistance = 11.4k\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e Sound Samples:\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e    Obsidian Hi-Gain demo song.
