humbucking

A “stacked coil” style, for musicians who demand brilliant acoustic tone with

quieter reproduction than a single coil pickup can offer. A volume control,

located on the bottom of the pickup, is easily accessible through the soundhole.

Move the wheel clockwise to increase volume. For the lowest noise performance,

keep the control at the highest setting.
