Description
The H1- is Tom Anderson’s go-to neck pickup for players who want humbucker warmth without the mud. It’s a slightly clearer voicing of the standard H1, built on the same larger pole piece design and reworked string spacing that Anderson uses across the H series to kill the dead-spot dropouts you get on the high and low strings with older-style magnet layouts. The result is an even, uniform magnetic field pulling equally from every string.
Tonally, expect a full, open sound with a smooth breakup when you push it — no harsh fizz or fuzz creeping in at higher gain. Like the rest of the H series, output can vary from mild to hot depending on where it sits in the lineup, and the H1- is designed to play especially nicely paired with one of Anderson’s Yellow-Hot Output pickups in the bridge, giving you a balanced two-pickup set with plenty of character in both positions.
Every H series humbucker ships wired with a 4-conductor shielded cable, so you’re not locked into a single wiring scheme — split it, phase it, wire it series or parallel, whatever your guitar’s controls allow.
- Neck position humbucker, most popular in Tom Anderson’s H series

If you’re chasing a neck tone that’s clear, articulate, and free of harsh overdrive edges, the H1- is one of the most trusted choices in Anderson’s catalog.
