Wilkinson M Series Ceramic Mini Humbucker Guitar Neck Pickup for Les Paul/Firebird, Chrome

Many styles of Jazz electric guitars require mini humbucker pickups specifically designed for the neck position and wax potted. Examples of guitar models that commonly use these pickups include the Les Paul and Firebird.

These pickups are genuine Wilkinson parts, specifically from the M series, manufactured in China and distributed by Musiclily. They are renowned for their low noise operation, achieved through wax potting, and feature a slightly narrower coil field that contributes to their distinctive sound profile.

The tone produced by these pickups strikes a balance between the bright, clear sound of single-coil pickups and the warmer, fuller tone of full-sized humbuckers. Their smaller size not only enhances brightness but also improves sustain, making them a versatile choice for various musical genres.

Key specifications of the pickups include a ceramic magnet type and a D.C. resistance of 6.3K ohms (± 0.5K). Physically, each pickup measures 83mm in length (3-17/64 inches), 29mm in width (1-9/64 inches), and 17mm in height (43/64 inches). The designation "N" on the pickup's back indicates it is intended for the neck position. Wiring instructions are as follows: the yellow wire serves as the hot wire, the black wire as ground, and the white and red wires are for split coil configurations.

Each package contains one pickup unit. Please note that the accompanying screws may not be suitable for all applications; you may need to use your own screws if necessary.

This information is crucial for guitar enthusiasts and technicians alike, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance when installing these mini humbucker pickups in Jazz style electric guitars such as the Les Paul and Firebird models.
