The Black Hawks are a seriously potent pickup set. They nail that high-gain, active-like clarity with a surprisingly organic feel thanks to the Alnico 5 in the neck. These are perfect for players wanting a modern, aggressive sound with the option to dial back the gain for cleaner rhythms.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Black Hawks are significantly hotter than the Aftermathers, offering a more aggressive, modern high-gain sound. Aftermathers retain a more vintage, classic rock character.
