On the neck and bridge, Lundgren Design Alnico humbuckers provide fat sounds with an accentuated midrange spectrum and an assertive sound that convinces with a strong character. Using the coil split option via push/pull function of the tone control, additional multifaceted timbres can be called up, which elicit the two humbuckers classic clear sounds of typical single coil pickups, and to further expand the tonal palette of the Hagstrom Ultra Max Special.
