SheptoneTribute 4 Humbucker Set - 1959 Spec Nickel Plated Covers
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tribute 4 takes a handcrafted humbucker set in an Alnico 4 direction. That magnet is presented as a way to retain the smoother character associated with Alnico 2 while keeping clarity and punch, rather than adding the softer low-end response and possible neck-position muddiness described for Alnico 2. It carries 1959-spec nickel-plated covers, with approximate DC resistance around 8.0k at the bridge and 7.6k at the neck.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Seeking smoother Alnico 2 character while retaining clarity and punch in the neck position.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players specifically after the softer low-end response and potential neck muddiness associated with Alnico 2.
