The 1966 Worn Wilshire Tremotone is equipped with a pair of Epiphone's legendary mini-humbucking pickups. These mini-humbuckers made in the image of the originals, with adjustable pole pieces, enamel wire, bar Alnico V magnets, and rounded nickel plated covers set in an original style black mounting ring with height adjustment screws. They are double-wax potted to avoid microphonic squeal during high-volume playing.
Magnet Material
Alnico V bar magnets.
Tonal Characteristics
The mini-humbucking picukps marry the power and hum-free performance of a traditional Gibson humbucker with a narrower magnetic field and a smaller size to produce a bright, focused output that gives added clarity and chime to the 1966 Worn Wilshire Tremotone.
Electronics
Controls
Independent volume and tone controls provide the sonic versatility for which so many classic Epiphone and Gibson guitars are renowned.
Switch
A three-way toggle switch selects each pickup individually, or both together.
Output Jack
The guitar carries a quality 1/4" mono output jack.
