Wilkinson pickups were first designed for my Fret-King guitar range. All guitars in the Fret-King range are based on classic designs, so they required pickups reflecting the character of the originals that inspired the Fret-King concepts. Not all Wilkinson pickups are exact replicas. I have made some subtle changes to make them more acceptable for today's music styles. The pickups when used a sets are calibrated, with bridge pickups being slightly overwound to balance the output. Single coil pickups are available in "reverse wound/reverse polarity" to give you hum-cancelling capability when using two pickups together. I couldn't resist a slightly hotter set of single coils to the range along with some hotter Humbuckers too! The "V" humbuckers have slightly wider pole piece spacing to accommodate vibrato equipped guitars. All Wilkinson pickups are wound for "tone", power is a secondary consideration. Balance is important to me, high frequencies should sparkle, but not be thin, mid tomes - warm and defined and lower frequencies tight and articulate. All my pickups, both Platinum Series and Pro Series, are manufactured to my exacting standards and specifications.
