Reverse wound to deliver hum cancelling qualities.
The Chrome Domes have been praised for both their "sweet, rounded tones" and simultaneously described as sounding like "a Strat on steroids." This was accomplished by modifying a guitar pickup already known for its bell-like tone and rich history, the original Gold Sensor. We took the Gold, long a favorite of such artists as Eric Clapton, and "slammed and crammed" it with "hotter magnetic", and reverse wound the middle pickup, then wrapped the pickups in chrome-plated heavy brass.
Think: Clapton, Townshend, Ron Wood, Tommy Bolin, Rory Gallagher
Sound: Classic vintage Strat tone, with slightly more midrange
