I was looking at the new pictures of the custom shop buckers and I saw a few that looked very interesting. I was wondering if anyone could give any of description of their sounds, characteristics, and specs. Here are the following models,
Nokie Edwards
Scott Ian Diablo
S-Deco 2
Hawk Bucker
Here is the scoop...
Nokie Edwards-neck and bridge models. Bridge wound to about 20k, neck wound to about 17k, dual blade, Alnico II magnets. Blades ARE the magnets
Scott Ian Diablo-bridge ONLY, wound to about 22.5k, Alnico 5 magnets. Blades ARE the magnets
Nokie Edwards Strat/HB Duo-One coil from the other Nokie Edwards blade pup and one Staggered magnet, strat pickup...also in neck and bridge models.
Hawk Bucker-Alnico 2 or 5 magnets, neck and bridge models, bridge wound to about 7k, neck about 6k. Blade IS the magnet.
As for the S-Deco stuff...All I know is that they are avaible in both neck and bridge models as well as in Alnico 2 and 5 magnets, they fall into the 10-12k range and have a modern/vintage tone
Good luck...and order away!!!
