SheptoneVH1 Humbucker Bridge - Black Bobbins
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for the bridge position, Sheptone’s VH1 humbucker targets the rhythm-guitar sounds associated with Van Halen’s first album, including recordings made with a stock Ibanez Destroyer. It is hand-built, with each coil wound by a set number of wire turns rather than selected to an identical DC-resistance reading. That means individual pickups can differ slightly, while resistance commonly lands around 7.8k. Black bobbins give it a straightforward, traditional pickup appearance.

Who this is for
