Blends well with full-size humbuckers.

Warmer and slightly more powerful than an HS-1, HS-2 pickups are solid neck and middle position choices for guitars with a full-size humbucker in the bridge position. The HS-2 pickups natural tone blends well with humbuckers, making a smooth transition when switching from rhythm to single-note picking. Using the HS-2 also eliminates the annoying problem of switching from a quiet humbucking to a noisy single-coil pickup. A little-known secret about the HS-2: Eric Johnson has discovered that wiring an HS-2 for single-coil operation creates one of the best vintage tones around.

Like all HS Series pickups, low noise, hum-canceling HS-2's work well through high-gain racks and amps where any pickup noise is multiplied through preamps and effects chains.

Recommended for all positions.
