The Wilkinson Caliber 2020 Hybrid Humbucker presents a unique pickup design that departs from conventional construction methods. Featuring two classic pickup designs in a single unit, it provides exceptional versatility for players seeking to break away from tradition.
Unlike typical humbuckers, the Caliber 2020 incorporates a special-positioned ceramic bar magnet beneath the slugs of the bobbin coil, combined with a single coil Alnico V rod magnet loaded bobbin-less pickup. The pickup is optimized for circuits that allow it to be split to the single Alnico coil, making it an ideal choice for HSH and SSH pickup configurations where maximum tonal flexibility is desired.
The Caliber 2020 offers classic single coil tones as well as a full, driving humbucker voice that delivers plenty of bottom end while remaining clear and defined.
INNOVATIONS
Trev Wilkinson's early exposure to the legendary sounds of guitar greats greatly influenced his own playing and future in music. Hank Marvin's use of vibrato sparked Trev's interest in a device that would later become an integral part of the Wilkinson brand.
The tone and sound created by other iconic players such as Clapton, Beck, and Green also had a profound impact, as did the instruments and components that produced these tones.
R SERIES CREATION
The R series of pickups represents the culmination of years of meticulous listening, research, and development. Drawing on his extensive experience and collaborations with industry pioneers like Seth Lover and Leo Fender, Trev focused on every aspect of sound, materials, and production methods.
This attention to detail is evident in the exceptional quality of the R series, making them the pinnacle of Wilkinson's pickup offerings.
