Medium output, clear and balanced.

Hotter than 39% of the 230 neck humbuckers we have · estimated from resistance

  • Alnico 4 magnet: between Alnico 2's warmth and Alnico 5's punch

“Duncan Screamin Demon (would have more of a treble type clang to the attack instead of an upper mid type of clang that the Dragon II has).”
