AHB-3 Blackouts are available as Mick's two-humbucker set, or in individual neck and bridge models to mix and match with other Blackouts and Livewires Classic II active pickups. All versions come with all necessary mounting hardware, including pots, jack, and a battery clip.
The AHB-3 is designed for all humbucker guitars. The blade magnets make this pickup suitable for both humbucker and Trembucker spacings.
