S1

A soapbar single coil with adjustable poles, ebony structure, a double magnetic bar (in Alnico V or II) with opposite polarity, and a very high number of wirings. It allows an output similar to the Humbucker, but with a wide frequency range and a darker sound, very different from traditional single coil pickups.

H1

A soapbar humbucker with adjustable poles, ebony structure, magnets of Alnico V or II. Magnets are specifically placed to emphasize a specific sound.
