NOwaxx Retro 49

NOwaxx Retro 49

Set of 2 calibrated pickups

  • Description

    In 1949, a thinner 43AWG wire was used for TL bridge pickups (Broadcaster or Nocaster at the time). This creates a less harsh, lowmid-focused and fatter tone. The sound of a bridge pickup from this period is less aggressive, but a little more compressed and louder. This is more balanced when used with a TL neck pickup. For those who are bothered by the imbalance of a TL set, 49's pickups are a very good choice. As with all NOwaxx Retro pickups, the original wire is used - here it is of course a Plain Enamel 43AWG.

About NOwaxx

Unwaxed pickups have richer overtones, sound fatter and less held-back. In other words: You get more of everything. There lies the rub: Unwaxed pickups are prone to create feedback. That's the point where NOwaxx technology comes into play! Through a sophisticated System Martin Hornauer managed to kill feedback without using wax. All NOwaxx pickups are hand-made by Martin in meticulous single-item production.  <more>
