Description

The Humbucker Sized CC // Classic Soul.

Forget the standard humbucker humdrum. We’ve taken the legendary, thick-as-molasses tone of the original Charlie Christian pickup and reimagined it for the modern player. This is a retro-futuristic powerhouse that looks as sharp as it sounds.

Whether you’re chasing that elusive pre-war jazz warmth or looking for a lo-fi, gritty blues edge, the CC delivers punchy, single-coil clarity with a sophisticated, woody, mid-scooped character.


The Specifications

We haven’t cut corners on the mojo. Every component is chosen to honour the golden era of tone while fitting seamlessly into your standard humbucker routing.

  • The Look: A bespoke black and white acrylic top, laser-cut for precision.

  • The Build: Features a precision-radiused steel blade pole piece paired with Alnico 5 magnets for exceptional string-to-string balance and a bold, articulate output.

  • The Wire: Wound with vintage-correct 38awg wire, staying true to the specs that gave the original its iconic voice.

  • The Details: Traditional cloth hook-up wires for a clean, vintage-standard installation.

Calibrated Performance

Available individually or as a matched set, these pickups are voiced to provide a seamless transition across your switching positions:

Position Resistance Character
Neck 3.2K Warm, flute-like, and harmonically rich.
Middle 3.2K Perfect for balanced, percussive “in-between” tones.
Bridge 3.6K Slightly overwound for extra bite and presence.

A Note on Craftsmanship: To achieve that authentic “Retrotech” look, our mounting rings are precision laser-cut. Please note that the white areas feature small cutting marks.

In the box:

  • 1 x CC Humbucker-Sized Pickup

  • Coordinated mounting screws
