Railhammer has launched the Alnico Grande Pickup. Modern vintage is the best way to describe this new bridge pickup. It has a warm, lightly compressed attack due to the classic alnico 5 magnet, but it’s wound hotter than vintage for a thick, round sound and great sustain. The Railhammers are designed by Joe Naylor. Thin rails under the wound strings sense a narrow section of string, producing a tight, clear tone. Large poles under the plain strings sense a wide section of string, producing a fat, thick tone. This allows players to dial in a tight, clear tone on the wound strings without the plain strings sounding thin or sterile. The result is improved clarity and tonal balance across all the strings. The extra clarity on the wound strings means they also work well with low-tuned guitars. For details, visit railhammer.com.
