Sorry, but I'm currently not shipping to countries in the European Union (EU) due to new GPSR Regulations. I hope to have this rectified early in the new year '25. Really sorry about this, just want to fully comply with the new regs.

Humbucker Sized Filtertron Style Pickups
After looking at modern variants of the old Filtertron style pickups, and wanting to design my own range of Humbucker sized Filtertron style pickups, I came up with these - introducing the Black Cat - Humbucker sized Filtertron style pickups. A reduced number of offset winds on each coil provide the extra brightness. The thicker Alnico 5 magnet helps keep the attack but being stronger due to their 1/4" height, the magnet boosts the output of the lower windings on each coil to give great volume & brightness. A real spank & twang to these Humbucker sized Filtertrons. The H-gate chrome covers give that 'retro' look.
Currently, the brightest pickup in the whole Creamery range. The Humbucker sized Filtertron style bridge pickup is Jangly & bright, but designed to break up the amp at gain for a biting attack. My modern interpretation of the old classic Filtertron pickups of yesteryear in a standard humbucker size. 12 Pole screws for individual string balance give you the option to follow your neck radius and define your own tone.
The Neck pickup has a sweeter voice due to its position but still with the brightness needed from this kind of pickup.

Overwound, Hot Humbucker Sized Filtertron Design Pickups
A hotter, overwound version of the original Black Cat pickup. Still with the classic bright tone but with an added fatness with more in the mids.
The neck pickup adds a sweet warmth to the brightness.
