Great for guitars with a neck humbucker and bridge single coil, like the recent model Fender Telecaster and others.
Thanks to Kinman’s Triple Alnico Tone advantage it has a juicy single coil vibe (think fatter P-90 sound) which makes it great for the neck position because it overcomes the tendency of conventional humbuckers to be wooffy & mushy with reduced definition of low notes at high volume.
Its midrange has a lot of TONE with a strong piano flavor. Split single coil sound is the secret weapon of the Clean Skin, strong and quite Strat-like.

Better than conventional humbuckers for the Neck position because of minimized blur and mush factor.
The 30% under-wound Extra Vintage has sweeter highs and more tone with detailed piano tones midrange than regular Vintage or PAF humbuckers, thanks to Kinman’s Triple Alnico Tone advantage. Nicely touch sensitive and responsive.
Sweet brilliant highs and Pinch harmonics literally jump out. Split single coil sound is the secret weapon of the Extra Vintage, very strong and Strat-like.
A much improved PAF which works better in the neck position than conventional humbuckers and is excellent for the bridge position if you want less growl and grind.
Featuring vastly improved Tone / definition / clarity on the wound strings with minimium blurring from the low notes in the neck position, thanks to Kinman’s Triple Alnico Tone advantage.
The neck position has well defined and clear low notes that have a strong hint of twang and more than a good dose of piano tones in the mids.
Split single coil sound is the secret weapon of the PAF+, very strong and P-90 like.
Kinman have been building custom pickups since 1965 but in 1971 founder Chris Kinman developed an obsession about cancelling the noise and hum found on singe coil pickups. In 1995, after over 20 years of research and development, a new era for Kinman began...
The Kinman range includes Stratocaster, Telecaster and P90 single coil replacement pickups, available as either individual pickups or in carefully configured sets,. The Kinman range covers everything from authentic Knopfler-esque tones with the Impersonator 54 set to the explosive sounds of Jimi Hendrix captured by the Woodstock set. In the words of Chris Kinman..."The Woodstock sets make it easy to sound more like Jimi than Jimi himself did!"
