Boost your neck position tone with this Golden Age Overwound Humbucker. Featuring a classic gold cover, this pickup is engineered with extra windings to provide a thicker, more powerful output while retaining the warmth and articulation essential for neck-position blues, jazz, and classic rock. It is an excellent choice for balancing output against a high-gain bridge pickup or adding depth and sustain to your rhythm tone. Perfect for custom builds, replacements, or luthier projects where a fuller neck voice is desired.
