Product Details

The Senn Model One was developed at the request of guitar builder Jeff Senn, who wanted a pickup that offered the tone of a vintage Guyatone single-coil gold foil pickup. Though our Senn Model One is a humbucker, it has the clarity and chime of a single-coil, with a very, very clear and open tone and plenty of sustain and overtones. Rout dimensions: 3.625" x 1.560".

NOTE: 1/16" and 1/8" shims are available for top mounting.

Avg. DC: Neck 7.3K, Bridge 8.1K (Read about DC resistance)
Recommended Potentiometers: 500k
Recommended Capacitor: 0.022μF

Sound incredible in a 12 string

Took a chance on the Senn Model One pickups in a custom 12 string I built for a well known musician. I had a feeling they'd sound good but wasn't prepared for just how great they sounded. Crystal clear chime with a little something extra that sounds even better than the more well known single coil pickups used in your more well known electric 12 string guitars. Very satisfied as was the customer.

I still have the pair of Senns in an SG Special, using it with a '64 Showman (open-back cab). Doing country and surf in the mode of Jr. Brown, I can't tell the difference from his "Guit-steel's" bridge tone. The pots are dimed on the SG. The Showman is 6vol, 6treb, 2mid, 4bass. Switchng to the neck PU is a bump in treble. Still loving the Senns.

Ordered on a whim without any expectations . These sound so good . These are the pickups I’ve had in my head for years . Big , full , open , dynamic. These have become my favorite pickups . Present high end without being harsh, . Huge frequency response . I will be ordering more of these . If you like the current gold foil trend , but wish they had a little more “oomph”, you will like these pickups .

I've had a set of the Senns (the router template was labeled "T-Bird") for a month or so in an SG and I absolutely love the the tone. I switch between this guitar, a big-box Gretsch and a Strat. For early American twang, Surf and primal Rock and Roll, they sound fabulous with my Tweed, Brown, Blonde and Blackface amps using rockabilly/Cramps-style signal chains. Very well-balanced as the set— I only use one volume and one tone with the 3-way on the SG.
