Humbucking Pickups Available individually or in calibrated sets. Because of the shallow mounting depths of most modern guitars, our humbuckers come mounted on low profile base plates. If requested, vintage style base plates can be substituted at no additional charge. Zebra humbuckers have the black coil facing the outside in both the bridge and neck positions. Reverse zebra has the black coil to the inside. A Zebra neck pickup has the black bobbin facing the neck and a Zebra bridge pickup has the black bobbin facing the bridge.
	Kashmir Classic PAF Sweet vintage tone! When you think of truly legendary tones, what names spring to mind? Billy Gibbons? Eddie VanHalen? Jimmy Page? Eric Clapton? Each of these guys’ tones have a couple of things in common. Mega talent and the humbucker that started it all…the legendary PAF Humbucking Pickup. The Kashmir is our Alnico 2 loaded Classic PAF inspired humbucker. This pickup offers a warm, sweet, smooth vintage tone with enhanced midrange. Comes with vintage style braided shield push-back wire. 4-conductor cable available by request at no additional charge. The Kashmir also includes all necessary mounting screws, springs and wiring instructions. *DC resistance= Neck 7.6k, Bridge 8.4k, Alnico 2. Available Covers for this pickup: Open or Standard.

	Legacy "Modern" Vintage The Legacy is our Alnico 5 PAF inspired humbucker. This pickup offers a dominant and full bodied tone, extended range with tight lows, punchy mids, a bright top end and plenty of crunch when pushed. Powerful, very warm, balanced and articulate. Comes with vintage style braided shield push-back wire. 4-conductor cable available by request at no additional charge. The Legacy also includes all necessary mounting screws, springs and wiring instructions. *DC resistance= Neck 7.9k, Bridge 8.7k, Alnico 5.. Available Covers for this pickup: Open or Standard. "I wasn't happy with my custom guitar's electronics. It's a PRS/ES335 type hollow body. I talked at length with Stan and he recommended his Legacy on the bridge and his Kashmir on neck. I played a few gigs with them and was happy. However, when my MIDI was having problems the Tech convinced me to install Duncans (Jazz in neck and JB in bridge). The sound just wasn't there. The Stan Hinesley pickups killed the Duncans. I had his pickups installed again because they had a more rounded sound, more response and just better tone. Stan is also a great person, very courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend his pickups." Enrique Gardano- Florida	$109.99 ea
	Scorpion The Scorpion is our high output Alnico 5 humbucker. The Scorpion offers sizzle, warm mids and a smooth bass. The 12 adjustable pole pieces offer great balance between the two coils and a clearer top end. Comes with 4-conductor cable for all the cool wiring options. The Scorpion also includes all necessary mounting screws, springs and wiring instructions. *DC resistance = 13.4k ohm, Alnico 5. Available Covers for this pickup: Open.

Big sound with a real good precision!!! I LOVE YOUR PICKUPS !!!!!! It will be an honor to represent your brand !" Chritophe Gutierrez- France "Stan, you are the best!!! I just installed the custom pickup and it is by far the best P/U any body has made for me…I have tried them all from dimarzios, duncans, wcr and many more…you are the bomb!!! The treble retainer also worked great. Keep it up you have something special. Adios." Galo Rivera- Florida	$109.99 ea
	Viper High output angry pickup with plenty of tight, focused bass, punchy mids and highs. Very crisp, clear and articulate. Excellent attack with lots of crunch yet it cleans up well.. 12 steel slug pole pieces for great balance between coils and strings. The Viper pickup includes a 4-conductor cable, the necessary mounting screws, springs and wiring instructions. Great for either position, best for bridge. DC resistance = 13.5k ohm, Ceramic. Available Covers for this pickup: Open or Closed. "The Viper killed the Evo 2. Kicked it off my guitar totally. It straddles the line between vintage and modern tones, kind of PAF-ish but has great bass, tight too. There's this slight fizz (for lack of a better word) which gives this Viper a raw character. About the mids...very crisp and clear for rhythm, I would think its more articulate than the Evo 2. Note clarity and separation is very good. Very very good. It cleans up quite well, I would say the Evo 2 cleans up in a smoother way but no biggie to me. Harmonics? It sure can scream! The Evo 2 screams more easily by a hair but this Viper sounds more... organic, warmer than the Evo 2. Split, it has a more bold tone and interprets your picking dynamics well. Strangely, though the Viper's DC resistance is measured at 13.5k, its magnet pull (I used an allen key to compare) is much weaker than the Evo 2... very cool. Means more sustain. Overall, the main thing that makes the Viper rock so HARD... is the raw character. It just makes you wanna rip out with some old school riffing, if you get what I mean... Its a killer pup to me. What I want... bite, raw-ness and attitude.." Daniel Tan- Singapore "The Viper7 (7-String) ROCCCCKKKKKSSSS!!!! It's very articulate and very crisp, you can hear chord changes extremely easily." Daniel Tan- Singapore*	$109.99 ea

The Custom TL pickup comes with a vintage style single conductor braided shield cable but 4-conductor cable is available at no extra charge. Please let me know at time of ordering which you prefer.

We used our main practice amp and and my own personal guitar, sounds great / I put it in mine like tons of other stuff we test because I know what my guitar sounds like .... really dig the less bass needed on the amp and you can actually turn up the treble without sounding thin and brittle / good chord articulation with high gain settings / nice clean tone with the volume rolled down...etc (could go on for days). It (the TL Custom) shreds!" Marc Price- MSP Guitars	$109.99 ea

Ryan Rister- Aurora, Co	$114.99 ea

Available Covers for this pickup: Open or Standard. "I found Stan and his site when looking for a Clapton tone mod/boost. He was very helpful and when discussing my pickup preferences (bluesbucker), told me about his Fusion pickups. I now have them on all my strats for the bridge position. Killer P-90ish tone and silent (ie, no hum). Great pickup, business, and guy (Stan, that is)! Do yourself a favor and check out Stan's wares. You can't go wrong." Jon Sterngold- California	$114.99 ea

A slight backing off of the volume and there's ample clarity for any playing style imaginable. Kick it on full volume and it sings. Great sustain. Clarity and sustain.......I say that's a good p/u.

"Stan was very quick in responding to emails and delivering the pickups. For the quality of the work and how these sound, the price is a fantastic value. It's hard to describe the tone of the pickups, since it would probably be different through different amps. Through my rig the pickups give my guitar a sort of bouncy, shimmery, almost watery kind of sound. But not muffled or muddy. Very sublime. They have a very organic sound. The SR's I had in the guitar were more in your face and strong, and clear sounding, where the EXPs are a bit more subdued ,yet clear sounding. No knock against the WCR single coils, they are just as good. If I were to compare, it would be like comparing between a Mercedes vs. BMW. Both great sets of pickups, but I am going with the EXPs because of personal preference. I'm not sure what gives these pickups that "extra" mojo. Maybe it's because of the randomness of the scatter wind process, or the reverse pole stagger. But, I'm definitely digging these pickups. I just ordered another set for my other 56' relic." David P.- California*	$199.99 set

Somehow you have managed to get the best of both worlds here. And, yes just like the name, they are HOT! Output exceeds the Seymour Duncan Hot-J's which are honky sounding. They are silent! no hum. I know, i'm pretty good at shielding, but for single coils these things are completely canceling at 100%, NICE JOB!" Joel B.- Michigan "These pickups are incredible.
