• These are brand new model T-178 genuine Collins custom hand wound vintage stagger pickup set wound hot and made from the finest materials
• Rio Vista Heat          
       What is Rio Vista Heat?  It starts as a vintage stagger pickup and is wound hotter'n pepper puddin' in the Texas sun .187 Alnico 5 magnets oriented S-N-S spec and calibrated for strength. These pickups hit the amp hard and push the tubes into breaking up. But it's not only all about the dirt, roll back the volume and they clean up to a sweet sound or punch it up and crank out stinging Texas Blues Rock
      
  These pickups are overwound progressively 16% to bridge for balance and a hotter output.
