A Tribute to the Late 60s Blues Rock Sound
Designed as a nod to an era when tone was shaped as much by playing as by "assembly accidents," the Green Magic recreates this legendary formula: a humbucker with an authentic character, capable of shifting from a bluesy smoothness to a punchy rock presence. In the neck position, it highlights the guitar's vocal quality with an immediately familiar warmth.
For Which Guitarists and Configurations?
This neck position model is aimed at guitarists seeking an expressive pickup for blues rock riffs, singing leads, and thick rhythms. It excels on a vintage-oriented electric guitar but remains versatile enough for those wanting a more modern palette thanks to the 4-conductor wiring. Paired with the bridge pickup from the set, the middle position offers surprising clarity with articulation reminiscent of single-coil sensations.
Reverse Magnet and 4-Conductor Wiring: The Magic in Practice
The distinctive feature of this Green Magic Neck is its reverse magnet : when engaged together with the bridge pickup, it produces a very characteristic phase inversion with a more "scooped," sharp, and expressive tone, ideal for cutting through a mix without harshening the sound. With its 4 conductors, you can also explore coil splitting to achieve airier textures while retaining the core sound of a passive humbucker designed for feel and dynamics.
