Hx-85 v2 New version is louder, spankier and clearer
This is the bridge pickup in the Woodstock Plus set. AVn-69 are the middle and neck pickups. October-2019: The Hx-85 has been upgraded to v2, that is some of our Gen-2 technology has been incorporated to significantly increase loudness and improve the snap of attack. The sound is also more open and detailed. You will get Zero-Hum, longer sustain, minimized fret buzz and a loud n thicker sound that is great for the bridge position. This pickup was designed especially for the bridge position of the Woodstock Plus set for those who like a hotter bridge pickup for easy overloading/distortion. It has a fatter, thicker sound on the wound strings and has the third hottest output of all Kinman Strat* replacement pickups. Only the Big-Nine-0 and Kick-in-the-Arse are louder. It delivers smooth and creamy distortion, either natural overdrive or through FX without loosing it's edge. The Hx-85 works well in the neck and middle positions too where it produces a nice thwack attack at clean volume. News flash Apr-2021: Now with our new Synergy baseplate that allows switching off Hum Cancelling as well as switching to 'Synergy' mode for those that think hum is part of Fender sound. Signal chain requirements: Any old cable won't do. As with any pickup it's a good idea to use a low capacitance cable to get the maximum incredible performance of this pickup. Works well in any Kinman Goodbye-Soldering Harness.
Some people will call these noiseless Stratocaster pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Stratocaster pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars *Stratocaster and Strat are a Trade Marks of Fender Musical Instrument Corp. Kinman is not connected to Fender. ** Alnico-K is a unique proprietary rod magnet developed by Kinman in 1985. It has 40% less string pull than Alnico-5 so sustain is longer and there is much less clatter from string crash and no Strat-itis string warble. Technical & Application info:

We highly recommend consulting the Install Guide in the Technical section even if you think you know it all. Kinmans' require specialized knowledge and sometimes there is updated info. There is also a handy wiring diagram available. We also highly recommend consulting the Adjust & Set-up page in the Technical section so you get the best out of your Kinman pickups.
