    A chimey, articulate set made for clean dynamic playing

    The ObsidianWire 'FIVE FIFTIES' emphasizes treble for a dynamic set that is perfect for clean and articulate playing styles.

    LOW OUTPUT

    The FIVE FIFTIES 'Low Output' set is wound low like a true vintage 50s model, for clear and articulate treble, with a little extra on the bridge pickup to knock of the extreme high end. The lower wind keeps these pickups clean unless really pushed

    ALNICO V MAGNETS

    A super versatile magnet and the traditional choice for true vintage inspired pickups and most high end pickups still built today. Alnico V has a strong output rating, with an emphasis on the highs and lows, making them an excellent choice for cleans & crunch.

    • Inductance: Neck 2.6H / Mid 2.6H  / Bridge 2.75H
