Description
The Tom Anderson VA-7R takes the beloved VA-Series formula—true vintage tone from staggered Alnico magnets—and flips the winding direction, giving you the reverse-wound/reverse-polarity partner your VA7 setup needs for silent, hum-free combinations. Pair it in the middle or neck position and watch those noisy single-coil positions go dead quiet without touching your tone.
Anderson didn’t chase output or thickness here. The VA-7R is wound with restraint, delivering a full, rounded midrange and lush harmonic complexity while steering clear of the muddy, over-wound character that plagues so many “hot” single coils. Where this pickup really shines is up top: highs stay silky and rounded rather than icy or brittle, so strumming hard or digging into leads never turns harsh or fatiguing. It’s the kind of sweetness that makes you want to leave the tone knob wide open.
Ships bare-bobbin with no cover, ready to drop into your build or existing guitar as-is. If you’re working on an actual Tom Anderson guitar and want it dressed to match, coffee-dipped, black, or white covers are available for that finished, factory look.
