Artec
Artec Alnico V P90, Humbucker Size Single Coil Pickups - Neck or Bridge
Pickup available at Northwest Guitars
Usually ready in 1 hour
If you're looking for some single-coil snap and twang, from your humbucker equipped guitar, take a look at the Artec Alnico V 'HB90'. A fat P90 single coil in a standard humbucker sized body. These P90's are a perfect mid-ground between a humbucker and a traditional single-coil. Thick and full without sounding muddy, but not overly bright. With plenty of mids, your clean and crunch tones will have more definition, allowing your chords to ring out.

Customer Reviews
Great pickup. A straight swap from the rather bland sounding humbucker that was in place. Snarls like a good'un now :-)
I've just stripped and facelifted an ebony Epiphone Explorer, which had stock LP/Dot humbuckers from 03. These are brighter - they have more harmonics with drive added - but not so different that the guitar is unrecognisable. If you're thinking of twangy Fender-like single coil tone, it's not that. Still plenty of mids on the bridge. No worries with noise or hum really. It's made a much more versatile instrument out of the Explorer. The plastic surrounds aren't great, but they're not awful and you could always reuse your originals if you care. Chrome finish is clean. Plenty of cable length for wiring them in too. If you like chime and clarity, these could get you there. Incidentally, the tone controls in the image are from Northwest too...
