If you love the sound of single-coils, but hate the hum, than we have what you’ve been searching for. The S is an active single coil loaded with a ceramic bar magnet that provides its versatile, definitive, and unadulterated sound. With internal shielding and a low impedance preamp, you get virtually noiseless operation at a higher output level so that all the tone makes it to your amp. Additionally, the ceramic bar magnet allows for the output to remain balanced during string bends, and makes for a playability and reliability that is unrivaled. The tone is hot enough to drive an amp with plenty of top end sizzle, and give solid lows and mids that ooze presence to make your solos sing. Whether you are playing jazz, country, metal or blues, the versatility is undeniable, there isn't anything the S can't handle.
