Pickups Model
The Pariah's Alnico V bridge humbuckers are wound with 42 AWG wire in the image of the hallowed Gibson PAF humbucker, but are given extra turns in each coil for increased output, and wax potting for resistance to feedback howl.
Tonal Characteristics
With their higher-output coils and Alnico V magnets, the Pariah's bridge humbucker yields an outstanding blend of power and tonal sweetness, and packs all the punching power and sustain required to get you rocking through high-gain amplification. Its neck pickup provides the full range of warm, bluesy voices and singing, throaty lead tones, and the middle switch setting is round, open and well balanced.
Electronics
Each guitar has a master Volume and master Tone control, and a three-way switch. The Volume pot hides a "treble-bleed" mod to retain highs as you wind down the control, and the Tone control has a push/pull switch to split the humbuckers' coils for single-coil sounds.
