Cold Sweat humbucker
BUY ONLINE handwound just for you
The Cold Sweat humbucker is a tight and percussive ceramic powered humbucker with a high resonant peak, producing clear, detailed treble response and smooth mids.
The custom sized ceramic magnet gives the Cold Sweat humbucker a more controlled dynamic with stacks of output and sustain. The mix of ceramic powered bridge and Alnico V powered neck gives a broad palette of clean and driven tones which creates the perfect tone for a variety of modern rock styles.
The neck humbucker is very popular among shred players for its articulate but fluid tone, and it is ideal for effortless sweep picking; the bridge pickup is also known for its precise attack. Pick harmonics jump out and the whole feel is very touch sensitive, especially when used with high-gain. The powerful bass and treble response of the bridge humbucker has the effect of slightly scooping the mids, which creates a very precise and rich tone with masses of depth.
The Cold Sweat humbuckers are absolutely perfect for pushing a tube amp into natural overdrive, and they will also maintain superb definition with the full saturation of a high-gain amp.
Available in all our open coil and covered custom finishes.

Bare Knuckle PickupsCustomer Reviews
I just wanted to say how thankful and appreciative I am for the care and consideration that’s gone into not only building the pickups, but also for the attentiveness to my request. I had asked if it was possible to have them dispatched earlier, and you kindly went a mile further to make it happen - having them sent out to arrive for the 9th. That helps me hugely and puts me in a great position, as I’ll be tracking our new EP with them very soon and was on a tight schedule to get them installed. Thanks again for your time, care, and great service.
I got the cold sweats in my LPC, they are absolutely phenomenal! Honestly a little different than I was expecting (in all good ways that I was not expecting!). It’s a sledgehammer in the bridge, it brought that guitar back to life!
