Description
Have you ever wondered what makes those old AIRLINE guitars sound
so wicked? How can a Humbucker sound like that? Well, it can't. The
original VALCO pickups were SINGLE COIL, not Humbuckers.
They looked like a Humbucker, but that is where the similarity
ends. The VALCO pickups were found in all AIRLINE, SUPRO and National
Guitars in the late fifties and early sixties. We dissected the
originals and have now re-created that famous tone in a new SINGLE COIL
design that is housed in a Humbucker format.
These are made specifically to replace your Humbuckers and give you
that oh-so-nasty growl that is familiar from the likes of Jack White,
Hound Dog Taylor, J.B. Hutto and Jimmy Reed.
