Down South Guitars "Super Fire" Humbucker-Sized Single

Vintage Tone, 6.9k-ish Ohms, Large Alnico 5 Rods

The "Super Fire" Humbucker-Sized Single Coil Bridge by Down South Guitars is one part of the Down South Guitars hand wound "Super Fire and Super Brimstone" Tele set, both in a 49.2mm humbucker housing. Based on an early-1950's design, this particular bridge measures in at 6.9 K ohms. The fully-charged, quarter inch diameter, Alnico 5 rod magnets residing in this bridge allows a wealth of twang and top-end, perfect for soloing or brightening up a darker sounding guitar, focused mids and presence, and a large bass signal. The larger diameter Alnico 5 rod magnets allow for a bigger bass end, punchier mids, with the same twang and brightness the original "Fire" and "Brimstone" creates. Like a cool summer day, the hand-wound warmth and twangy tone will simply wash over you.

A phillips screwdriver will serve you well during the installation process because keeping the pickup height low under the strings sounds like a hardcore country guitarist's dream. Super vintage-y tone with big beef on the bass end. Raising the pickup height to about half-way between the guitar body and the strings will sound like a much beefier heavy blues or classic rock toneality. I can't recommend any closer than that simply because of the amount of twang factor, you can, but it becomes really treble-y to my ear too close to the strings.

If you want a serious and faithful vintage-output stunner of a Tele bridge or if you play or write in the country, blues, or classic rock neighborhood, don't look any further! This could be a sizeable neck pickup as well, when paired with a powerful bridge. I should warn you it will be pretty big and mighty. I'm not going to tell you what to do, it sounds great in both the bridge and neck positions and you will love it! Make this beauty an addition to your collection and don't let this one pass you by!
