Coming Soon - the Axesrus AG-TB1

Built in collaboration with Alex Guildford

Alex was looking for something a little out of the ordinary from his HB/SC/(mini)HB guitar, and whilst he was smitten with the Axesrus Bourbon City Mini in the neck slot, he wanted a great single coil tone in the bridge slot.

Having been previously impressed by the Axesrus Texas Blues in his Fender Stratocaster, he was chasing that sort of tone, and, realistically, nothing that looked like a humbucker was ever going to get close.

So after a good amount of consulation and development, we designed the AG-TB1!

What you're looking at here, is two Texas Blues single coils, complete with heavy beveled, staggered Alnico V poles, fibre board frames and PVC covers, mounted up onto a nickel humucker base.

The trick here, is that rather then being a humbucker that claims to coil tap/split down into a single coil (and trust us, no traditional Humbucker ever does it well!) - this monster really does turn into a single coil! You're getting a proper sized coil, the correct magnets, the coils and magnets are lifted away from the metal base on maple spacers to avoid any unwanted interference of the magnetic field.

And whilst the main aim here is to give an authentic single coil tone from a humbucker route, it performs incredibly well as a humbucker in its own right. ticking along at a respectable 12.8K on 42 AWG, you get plenty of body, but also tons of head room! Whilst it looks a hot pickup, dont mistake that for a mushy, over compressed one trick pony! When we came to the conclusion that this was a solution, we also agreed that it was worth building in some versatility to the design too.
