Nopes. It has an âFâ there, so it most likely is a bridge humbucker.

It could be a Tonezone, from visuals and the DC resistance, but with black baseplate an B 5 stamped in ... ?
Other than that I am out of ideas :-)
You are right.

May it be "Breed"?

« Last post by nienturi on July 16, 2025, 06:51:51 AM »The Norton works great in a guitar that has a lot of natural lows, like a Les Paul or PRS Singlecut. It pairs well with the Liquifire in the neck.
I have a set neck guitar with 25" scale and warm tone. I will swap its custom pearly gates into Norton soon

« Last post by nienturi on July 03, 2025, 03:53:45 AM »A tele neck pickup that can step up to the bridge pickup in output and tonal quality. I find most tele neck pickups dull, weak or both. In fact I never quite understood why Fender did not switch to a strat pickup for the neck position after putting the stratocaster in production but different strokes for different folks I guess.
That's why i always liked Twisted Tele neck pickup.
