'72 Clone Wide Range Humbucker Pickup
Click here for current lead times
Most are not aware of the differences between the original Wide Range humbucker from the 70's and the reissue version of today. The main difference is the magnet structure. The original Wide Range humbucker used actual threaded magnets straight through the bobbins whereas the reissue version uses threaded steel poles that are magnetized by a bar magnet across the bottom. The result of the reissue Wide Range is a much darker sounding humbucker with less chime, focus and clarity as compared to the original.
The Mojotone '72 Wide Range clone humbucker completely captures that original sound with some overall improvements from the original design like a slightly underwound neck pickup for a more balanced neck to bridge pickup tone, and 4-conductor wiring for more tone options such as coil tapping and series/parallel wiring. Fully vacuum potted. Available in Chrome only with mounting hardware. 500k pots recommended. Does not fit standard humbucker routes because of the larger original size.

I just had the '72 Clones put in my reissue Starcaster, and it's great, I can hardly put it down. My friendly neighborhood guitar tech used 500k pots, as recommended, and it's sweet and nuanced, articulate and very clear--even better than my hopes. Thank you Angie, for winding these wonderful pickups, you've turned my favorite guitar into my best guitar, hands down. I look forward to putting these pickups into my other reissues, and always getting my gear from Mojotone.
