The Walter Humbucker

from £110.00

The Walter is a unique humbucker built for players who want clarity, character, and classic vibe all in one. Featuring a carefully balanced mix of Alnico 2 and Alnico 4 magnets, this pickup sits in that sweet spot between softness and punch, perfect for expressive leads and full-bodied chords.

Wound with 42 AWG plain enamel wire to a moderate 8k DCR, The Walter delivers a warm, articulate tone with sweet highs, rounded lows, and just enough midrange bite to cut through a mix. Whether you’re after clean vintage chime or slightly pushed breakup, it responds with nuance and soul.

Encased in a Nickel Silver cover, the Walter looks as good as it sounds.

Specs:

  • Magnet: Mixed Alnico 2 & Alnico 4

  • Wire: 42 AWG Plain Enamel

  • Resistance: 8k ohms

  • Finish: Relic’d

Tonal Profile:

  • Lows: Warm, smooth, slightly rounded

  • Mids: Balanced with a gentle push; Alnico 4 gives a touch of aggression, Alnico 2 keeps it sweet

  • Highs: Open and clear, not harsh

  • Attack: Soft with some bloom, good note separation

  • Feel: Dynamic, vintage-leaning with a modern edge

Great for: Blues, classic rock, indie, jazz and anything that benefits from vintage warmth without getting muddy.
