A moderate-to-high output handwound bridge humbucker with big drive and lively bite — designed to excite your amp.
Why you’ll love it
- Moderate-to-high output that pushes the front end hard
- Overwound, mismatched coils for extra grind and harmonic excitement
- Amp-driven feel — responsive to pick attack and volume knob
- Versatile for rock → punk → heavier styles
- Handwound CustomShop build for maximum character
The sound
The Hot Rock is the bridge pickup for players who want their guitar to feel alive. It’s voiced with a moderate-to-high output push and an overwound / mismatched coil design that hits your amp harder — giving you more attitude, more harmonics, and a punchy, forward response.
If you like gain that comes from the amp (not just pickup compression), and you want a bridge humbucker that stays punchy, musical, and dynamic under your picking hand, the Hot Rock is a killer choice.
