Hottie Amps’ Hottie Pickups
The company that brought us Hottie Amps has released their own
line of pups: Hottie Pickups. With the help of their friends at Seymour
Duncan, they’ve created pickups that capture the creamy distortion and
harmonic complexity of their Hottie Amps.
Hottie Amps described them as having
honey-sweet tone, touch sensitivity and
a perfect blend of warmth and presence.
They are late-fifties style humbuckers burnt
around the edges that feature nickel or
chrome covers, Alnico II magnets and are
wax potted. They’re sold as singles or sets
and custom options are available.
Street $99–149
