1986
 
 
Keeping in line with its series predecessors, the “1986” humbucker is built to honour the era stamped across its name—an era where high-voltage creativity collided with unfiltered guitar heroics.
 
Sharing familiar DNA with the rest of the PS family, the PS-86 delivers a noticeable power-up from its siblings while keeping every ounce of character, clarity, and musical nuance intact. The specialized winding pattern—paired with a strong Alnico 5 magnet—lets this pickup live comfortably in two distinct worlds:
 
• Dimed out, it erupts into a full-bodied, harmonically rich rock crunch with authority and attitude.
• Dialed back, it shifts gears into a gritty, responsive snarl with a touch of snap and sparkle.
(The best of both worlds… literally.)
 
Exceptionally versatile across many guitar woods, the “1986” truly shines in Ash or Basswood, where its midrange contour and upper-harmonic lift feel right at home.
 
Whether you’re running straight into a screaming Plexi or stacking your favourite chorus, delay, or mysterious mid-80s modulation boxes, the PS-86 gives your playing more bounce, more lift, and plenty of that unmistakable kick that defined an entire new chapter in rock guitar.
