PRESS RELEASE
Swineshead Pickups Offers New Graphic Options
April 07, 2006
Advertisement UK based Swineshead Pickups is now offering a range of new graphic options for their guitar pickups. Three different designs are currently available, the simplest design splits each coil into two different coloured areas. The two tone angled design again combines two colours but this time presents them at a 45 degree angle. Finally the most dramatic design uses a striped pattern reminiscent of zebra or tiger stripes. The three different designs can be made up from a choice of eight different colours. Any two colours can be combined on a single coil and up to four different colours can be used on one humbucker. All graphics are made from coloured plastic ensuring the designs are bright and well defined. An added benefit is the coloured plastic will not wear away in the same way a painted pickup would. Two tone humbuckers cost £53.95, two tone angled humbuckers cost £55.95 and striped humbuckers are £62.95. To really stand out on stage glow in the dark pickups are also available. These pickups feature a glow in the dark layer that is cream coloured in normal light but once the lights go out glows with a striking green colour. Glow in the dark pickups look great on stage particularly during a show that uses varying light levels. Glow in the dark coils can also be combined with standard coloured coils allowing for a wide variety of possible colour combinations. Glow in the dark pickups cost £54.95 each.
