The patented DOUBLEBUCKER     Imagine having a full humbucker sound and then, with the flick of a switch, the same pickup delivers a REAL no-compromise vintage singlecoil sound.   This is exactly what the DOUBLEBUCKER does. It took me a few years to develop this principle of construction to perfection. The final result was so amazing that I had to go through the trouble and expense of getting a patent. The new construction allows for many variations. Basicly I can combine every PAF size Humbucker I offer with any singlecoil as you wish.   Sounds to good to be true? Check out all the videos with the Mastercasters, there is a very nice one with Richie Sambora, click here (no pedals involved)     Why does it cost as much as 2 pickups? Simply because it is 2 pickups. The Bobbins and Baseplate are handmade, there are different custommade alnico 5 magnets and different sort of custommade wire involved. It´s not a simple pickup to make.   Available with open coils in black, cream, zebra, white and with german-silver covers in nickel, chrome, gold, black-chrome and antic (raw, unplated, nice vintage look)     P.S.   There are a few pickups on the market that claim they can do that. Well, not really. When you split a normal humbucker you have a single coil, but it doesn´t sound like a real typical singlecoil. Because the design of the coil and the magnetic field are very different. Then there are pickups where 2 typical singlecoils are put together to look and act like a humbucker. Now you can get a real singlecoil sound but the humbucker sound is nothing like a normal humbucker, again because the coils and magnetic field are completly different.
