FIRE STAR (MODERN)

We decided it was time to add a proper 'wide-range' humbucker to the Alan Entwistle Pickups range, and it comes in the shape of the nickel-cased Fire Star, with its striking double row of screw pole-pieces. The combination of a low DCR and Neodymium magnets gives a wide dynamic range but without compromising the output power, hence it will keep up with any modern pickup while delivering shimmering highs and rich harmonics through its tonal range. 

If you are looking for a humbucker that won't darken your tone and lets your fingers give their ultimate expression then the Fire Star is probably what you are looking for. 

These humbucker pickups are wax potted, but unlike modern pickup designs they are not vacuum processed as this reduces the natural gaps in the windings, which is partly responsible for the vintage flavour and response. Try it clean, crunchy or full-on!

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 and with mounting screws and springs (where model-appropriate). All our humbucking guitar pickups are wired with the ability to be coil-split so a wiring diagram is provided that shows how to wire for 'standard non-split', 'simple split', 'partial phasing' and 'series/parallel' configurations. 

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