Frequently Asked Questions
Mojotone consulted Winter's original pickups and specs, aiming for an extremely accurate recreation with the same materials and winding techniques.
While designed for Firebirds, they *can* be adapted, but you’ll likely need to modify the mounting and potentially the pickup routing.
They’re a bit more focused on a raw, dynamic tone than some smoother vintage sets; the steel reflector plate adds a unique harmonic complexity.
