The Smokey Nights humbucker is designed to deliver clarity and definition for seriously clean harmonics when playing complex chords and clean singing single notes. The use of Alnico 3 magnets and Heavy Formvar wire produces nice warm lows and glassy highs with only a slight midrange hump. 

These are no one trick ponies. Fantastic for jazz, Blues, Rock, Country and don't be afraid to venture into the harder stuff. Veratility is their middle name.

Features:

42awg Heavy Formvar wire

Neck output: 7.2k

Bridge output: 8.0k

Magnet: Alnico 3

Wax potted for squeal free operation.

Smokin’!

I had bought a HILS Next N3 headless guitar as a travel/practice/spare guitar. The fret ends needed attention and I didn’t like the high-output, ceramic pickups. I play guitar in a jazz big band and I only really use the neck pickup so, I ordered a Smokey Nights Jazz Humbucker. I took it into a local guitar store to have it installed and when the fellow returned the guitar to me he said, “That is a nice sounding pickup.” I have played the guitar at home but last night I took it to band practice where I plugged it directly into my Quilter Aviator Cub amp (Fender style amp). I started with the “tweed” input but later switched to the “black” input. The Smokey Nights sounded great. It is very clean, clear, quiet and to my ear there is clear separation between the strings. Our piano player commented on how good the pickup sounded. I have an original Kent Armstrong/Benedetto B6 humbucker (i.e. not a Seymour Duncan B6)on my other guitar (a T-style thinline) and I like the Smokey Nights better. By comparison the B6 can be a little dense and lacks the bell like quality that I hear in the Smokey Nights. I love the Smokey Nights humbucker and I think I may change the B6 for one of the other Pegcity pickups. Thank you Kris.

Everything I was hoping for and more.
Replaced stock ( Kent Armstrong Korean production pickups) in 2016 D'Angelico Excell SS and the difference is Smoky Night and Day...... got that Kenny Burrell thing going on.
Love 'em
