Overview

Bridge humbucker inspired by the tone of early Van Halen.

The creation of the Sheptone VH1 humbucker was inspired by the sound of Eddie Van Halen. We all remember where we were when we first heard tracks off of Van Halen’s first album and those iconic riffs from tracks like "You Really Got Me," "Little Dreamer," "Jamie’s Cryin’" and "On Fire." All those rhythm tracks were recorded with a stock Ibanez Destroyer and this pickup is designed to replicate those sounds. Each Sheptone pickup is built by hand with the material, attention to detail and time it takes to do it right. Resistance may vary from one to the next since the winding process goes strictly by the number of turns of wire but DC resistances tend to be around 7.8k.
