Tom Anderson SC3 Single-Coil Pickup – White

Description

The SC3 is Tom Anderson’s answer for players who want that classic single-coil snap in the bridge position but refuse to put up with hum. It shares the same DNA as the acclaimed SF-Series coils—widely regarded as some of the most musical hum-canceling S-size singles out there—but houses that tone under a clean white cover instead of the exposed SF construction.

Tonally, the SC3 pushes past vintage territory rather than just replicating it. Anderson describes the SF/SC design as sounding even richer than real vintage coils, with the same lively effervescence and those sweet, soft, lush high frequencies that make single coils so addictive in the first place. The SC3 specifically is voiced hotter than its siblings, giving it the output and bite you want driving a bridge pickup, while still canceling hum for dead-quiet performance on stage or in the studio.

Because it’s part of a matched family, the SC3 is designed to pair naturally with SC1 pickups in the neck and middle positions, keeping output and tonal character balanced across the whole set rather than fighting for volume against a hotter bridge pickup.

• S-size single-coil pickup, hum-canceling design
• Hotter output voiced for bridge position use
• Balances tonally with SC1 pickups elsewhere in the set
• White cover
• Part of Tom Anderson’s SC-Series

If you love the shimmer of a real single coil but need it silent, the SC3 delivers both without compromise.
