Multiple voicings, crisp articulation and precision engineering are all found in these outstanding pickups. These humbuckers were born to push sonic boundaries, and that's what the TE-1000 does. It roars with an expansive voice thanks to a Fishman ceramic in the bridge and the Fishman alnico at the neck. Unleash raw brutal sounds through the bridge humbucker, it uses ceramic magnets to provide a flamethrower tone that turns up the heat. Switch it to Voice 2 for a passive ceramic sound, and a slightly altered attack.
The Fishman alnico mounted at the neck position adds even more dynamics to the impressive TE-1000. Constructed with alnico V magnets it evokes a rounded, fat cadence. It's boosted and articulate and gives you a wider frequency to augment the piercing bridge pickup. Activate Voice 2 on the neck for a thinner humbucker tone. It approaches a single-coil sound yet is still crisp and defined, adding further to the astounding possibilities with this high end ESP.
