Pickups Model
The Assault 220 & 220FR are equipped with a pair of high-quality humbucking pickups with Alnico V magnets. Each is wound with 42 AWG wire in the image of the hallowed Gibson PAF humbucker, but is given extra turns in each coil, and wax potting, for extra sizzle and resistance to feedback howl. Pickups
Tonal Characteristics
With their higher-output coils and Alnico V magnets, the Assault 220 & 220FR’s humbucking pickups offer an outstanding blend of power and tonal sweetness. The neck humbucker excels at warm, vocal, bluesy tones, while the bridge unit packs all the punching power and sustain required to get you rocking through high-gain amplification.

Controls and Switches
Each guitar has master Volume and Tone controls and three-way switch. To expand the sonic possibilities of the straightforward layout, the Volume pot hides a “treble-bleed” mod to retain highs as you wind down the control, and there’s a push-pull switch on the Tone pot to tap the pickups for single-coil sounds.
