Description
Tom Anderson’s humbucker lineup is engineered around one goal: eliminating the dead spots and harshness that plague ordinary humbuckers. Larger pole pieces and reworked string spacing create a genuinely even magnetic field, so every string rings with the same clarity whether you’re digging into the low E or bending up on the high strings. The result is an overdrive character that stays smooth and musical instead of turning fuzzy or brittle as you push the gain.
This set pairs the H2 in the bridge with the H1 in the neck – a combination Tom Anderson favors for a reason. The H2 has long been a shop favorite for medium-hot bridge duty, delivering plenty of push without ever sounding harsh or strident. It stays open and articulate even when driven hard.
The H1 takes a more vintage-voiced approach, with lower output and an airy, open sound that’s ideal for balancing a hotter bridge pickup. Elliot Easton of the Cars famously used one on “Tonight She Comes,” and it remains a go-to neck pickup for players who want warmth without mud.
Both pickups in this set:
- Come wired with 4-conductor shielded cable for full coil-splitting and wiring flexibility
- Feature Tom Anderson’s redesigned pole piece spacing for uniform string-to-string output
- Are widely regarded among the best splittable humbuckers available
Finished in black, this H2/H1 set is a proven bridge-and-neck combo for players chasing clarity at high gain and warmth at low volume.
