Sheptone6T8 Semi-Hollow Body Humbucker Set - 1959 Spec Nickel Plated Covers
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed around hollow and semi-hollow electric guitars, the 6T8 set combines #42 poly wire with a long magnet and 1959-spec nickel-plated covers. It is also presented as an option for solid-body guitars described as lacking life. Both pickups are hand-built, with winding controlled by wire turns rather than a fixed resistance number. Expect approximate readings of 8.0k for the bridge and 7.6k for the neck, with set-to-set variation.
Strong match
