GLS Custom Dual‑Coil & Open Humbucker Pickups

Double the coils. Double the punch — tight, focused hum-cancelling tone for players who want clarity with bite.

  • GLS Dual-Coil pickups combine two matched coils to deliver the thick, hum-reducing power of a humbucker while preserving string definition and attack. Designed for modern players and tone purists alike, these pickups excel in high-gain contexts without losing note clarity.
  • GLS Open Humbucker pickups deliver the raw, articulate voice of a humbucker with an exposed coil design that emphasizes clarity and dynamic response. By combining the warmth and punch of traditional humbuckers with an open, airy top end, these pickups strike a balance between power and precision. Ideal for players seeking expressive tones across clean and driven settings, GLS Open Humbuckers excel at revealing string detail while maintaining the fullness and grit that define classic rock and modern versatility.

    • Key Features

    • True hum-cancelling dual-coil design for quiet performance on stage and in the studio.
    • Balanced midrange with defined highs and tight low end—cuts through a dense mix.
    • Available in multiple magnet options (Alnico V, Alnico II, Ceramic) to suit vintage warmth or modern punch.
    • Wired for easy coil-split/phase switching for maximum tonal versatility.
    • Road-tested build quality with nickel/silver or chrome covers (optional).

    Tonal Character

    GLS Dual-Coils sit between single-coil sparkle and full humbucker thickness. Expect strong note attack, focused mids, and a tight low-end that responds well to palm-muting and aggressive picking. They take pedals and overdrive very well while remaining musical and articulate.

    Wiring & Installation Notes

    • Wired for straightforward coil-split: tap the series link or use the provided 4-conductor lead. Coil-split reduces output and mimics single-coil brightness.
    • Phase reversal/parallel options available for additional thin/quirky tones.
    • LSet pickup height close enough for attack without magnetic pull on sustain — start about 2.0–2.5 mm from the low-E when fretted at the highest fret and adjust to taste.
    • For high-gain rigs: pair with moderate gain and a tight low-end EQ to preserve articulation.

    Who It's For

    Players who need hum-free performance with strong attack and presence: rock, metal, fusion, and modern studio work. Great as a bridge pickup for punchy leads or in the neck for thick, singing cleans that still articulate chords.
