ASTRO-SPLIT (VINTAGE 'BURNS' STYLE) SPLIT COIL PICKUPS

This fantastic new addition to the Astro range was inspired by the Burns Split-Sound guitar pickups. However, it has been refined to offer greater balance and versatility.

Featuring two individual coils under the cover, powered by Ceramic magnets, it delivers a bright, vintage tone. One coil is dedicated to sensing the bass (D A E) strings and the other the treble (E B G) strings. With a suitable switching system, these coils can be wired in series or parallel, enabling the blending of bass and treble sets of strings from different Astro-Split guitar pickups, while retaining the option for a ‘standard’ pickup configuration. In addition, with an added jack output it is possible to achieve a stereo guitar setup, with bass strings playing through one amp and treble strings through another to creatively obtain unique sounds. 

Please note we are in no way affiliated with Burns guitars.

Please note: Each selection is for one pickup. If you require a set you will need to select additionally for each one.

Alan Entwistle guitar pickups are supplied unboxed, with mounting screws and springs (where model-appropriate) and a wiring diagram showing a typical wiring configuration. 

We recommend that an experienced guitar technician installs your guitar pickups.
