We think that beautifully crafted guitars and our customers deserve the best pickups and definitely should not have crude, ancient design pickups that are abundantly noisy and produce TCS and other shortcomings.
And BTW, Kinman is the only brand that possesses the following list of esoteric knowledge.
Our boss Chris Kinman has single-handedly done more to improve Strat pickups than all the others put together and has been awarded 7 Patents with more coming along soon.
Here’s his list of marvelous achievements to date:
- Zero-Hum technology that totally eliminates hum (even the best of other brand hum-cancellers have residual hum)
- And our Zero-Hum technology does not compromise the highs and other delicate pristine tonal nuisances & dynamics
- Low strength Alnico-K rod magnets for longer sustain, no Strat-itis warble or string crash in all our Fender-esque models
- As well as vast magnetic efficiency improvements and resulting output strength
- The only vertical hum-cancelling Fender-esque pickups producing pristine non-aged sound
- Perfect string-over-magnet alignment regardless of Narrow or Wide bridge spreads
- The same for Strat bridge pickups with our 55mm Magnum Opus Tele Bridge in Strat model
- Coil spread compensation technology for narrow magnet spreads that prevents loss of dynamic performance
- Anti TCS technology -the main feature of our Magnum Opus models
- Four magnet staggers to suit Vintage, Modern and Compound Radius fretboards
- Perfect string-to-string level balance
- Perfecting coil winding techniques to maximize efficiency, dynamics, clarity and frequency response
- Ridding humbuckers, even hot ones, of muddy sound from low wound strings
- Laser engraved baseplates with Model ID, serial number, fretboard radius and more
- Dozens more improvements in construction and better materials
- Non-magnetic mounting plates for P-90 that solve comprises in hum-cancelling
- Devising new models which smash the boundaries of conventional pickups
Come out of the dark ages with these technical and sonic Masterpieces. And all of the above points make Kinman …..
