Description
Some of the most iconic guitar tones in rock history were never designed on purpose. The Green Magic set pays tribute to one of those happy accidents — a neck pickup with its magnet installed backwards, thrown out of phase with the bridge unit, and somehow sounding better for it.
Run each humbucker on its own and you get exactly what you’d expect: a warm, articulate neck tone and a punchy, focused bridge tone, both voiced for that late-60s golden era of blues rock — expressive, balanced, never harsh. But flip both pickups on together and the Green Magic set reveals its trick. The reversed neck magnet puts the two coils out of phase with each other, thinning out the low end and carving a hollow, quacky, almost otherworldly midrange that behaves more like single coils than humbuckers.
- Neck and bridge humbucker set with black covers
- Neck pickup magnet reversed to create out-of-phase tone in combined position
- Classic-era voicing — warm, clear, and expressive individually
- Hollow, single-coil-like character when both pickups are engaged together
If you’re after a guitar that can shift between full-bodied humbucker warmth and that spooky, honking in-between tone that made a certain blues rock legend’s sound so instantly recognizable, the Green Magic set delivers both from the same two pickups.
