Dragonfire Lipstick Humbucker, Neck Position Specialty Tube Style Pickup, AlNiCo V, Passive, Black

Dragonfire Lipstick Hummer ~ Passive Humbucker Pickup for Neck Position ~ Black Color
Brand New Lipstick / Tube Style Humbucker Pickup

Looking for that tube pickup style and flair? Dragonfire Lipstick Hummers are here to serve, offering you classic panache with some really cool sounds and styles. Fat and warm, these will still perk right up for your playing pleasure. Perfectly presented in the Goldilocks zone, these lipsticks deliver at all levels for that “just right” feel, power and performance you desire. These passive humbucker lipstick pickups offer the sweet bottom warmth, tight middle and top-side clarity you crave in a classic tube size.

These are wax potted, moderately hot wound pickups and boast an Alnico 5 bar magnet style for rounded and dynamic humbucker performance. The lipstick cover style gives you a tube-slick, smooth yet biting visual to match their (and your!) playing style. The alnico magnets in these pickups provide warm tone for expansively creamy sound. For hot and bothered play, these Lipstick Hummers offer roughly 14K output for all your needs.

The bar magnet offered in these Lipsticks can help you avoid string-to-string definition loss and provide strong string response in a variety of playing styles. These humbuckers can give you an even dynamic for sweep picking and are preferred by players who want to help make sure bends and vibratos will not choke out.

These humbuckers are 4-wire so you can coil-split and add series parallel options for even more versatility. In single coil mode, this humbucker performs smoothly with clarity and functionality. For high-end performance, we recommend using 500K pots and 0.047 tone caps (available separately).

These lipsticks are unique and offer you the chance to play this style without having to mod your standard pickup hole. They feature the standard short-leg mounting style and will not work in a set-up that requires the long leg/long tube placement (i.e. Dano/DanElectro).

We also have these available for the bridge position or as a matched set. Check our Reverb Store for related items as well as other colors in this pickup style.
