The Cerberus is a limited edition low output Alnico 3-based humbucker using a long rough-cast Alnico 3 magnet, vintage style plain enamel coil wire, and vintage style butyrate bobbins. Vintage-correct 1215 steel slugs. These are NOT wax potted.
At 8k bridge and 7.4k neck, these are low output and won't slam the front end of your amp. If you're looking for raunch, these aren't the droids you're looking for. Known for it's low magnetic strenght, Alnico 3 delivers a warm, sweet, subtle tone great for jazz, and blues.
Sold only in pairs, just 50 pairs of the Cerberus will be made.

Long 1/2 inch mounting legs are standard. If you need short 1/4 inch mounting legs for guitars such as PRS and some others, let us know.

Amazing pickup set! Glad I picked these up before they were gone. If you love a vintage output type humbucker – this is it. Very clear and articulate for a lower output set. Has a nice bite when pushed and sweet and warm when backed off. The neck in particular is spectacular. Had promptly installed these into a Les Paul Traditional with upgraded wiring from RS Guitarworks. Very happy with these – another incredible addition to my Wolfetone lineup!
