BIRMINGHAM AC5 Birmingham, England meet Birmingham, Alabama!

New for 2020 ! Huge mids – meet classic crunch !

This new humbucker set delivers classic British crunch and huge mids, but also splits to a killer Southern single coil sound.


The Birmingham takes the best of your favourite 70s tones and slams them into one great humbucker set.

Think Angus, Jimmy, Tony and the rest !

The bridge pickup is overwound by 5% to just under 9k, giving plenty of power, a prominent midrange, all while retaining chimey, detailed highs.

When split to a single coil or run in parallel, this pickup excels at single coil tones, without the massive volume drop that plague some humbuckers.

The neck pickup is underwound by 5% to just over 7k, offering great clarity, and ensuring this set has two distinct neck and bridge sounds.

The neck split sound is full, round and sustains well.
