We're very pleased to say that Guitar World magazine liked our Peacemaker humbucker set so much that they bestowed upon it their Platinum award for excellence!
For those who don't know, the Peacemaker is a signature set for Chris Robertson of Black Stone Cherry and is a hot P.A.F style recipe that uses isotropic Alnico v magnets to give a natural and expressive response that's perfect for bringing some life and soul to your blues and rock tone.
Here's a few snippets of what Paul Riario at GW had to say:
"I’m captivated by how thoroughly gutsy they sound with every pick stroke. Whether it’s the bridge or the neck, these humbuckers attack with discernibly bright mids that jut out as you’re chugging rhythms, yet miraculously cut deeply in a band mix so that you are heard. Solos jump out with dense clarity, and if you’re one to unleash a flurry of notes, the Peacemakers have the uncanny ability to deliver them with sharpened precision."
"There’s a ripened sweetness to the Peacemakers that makes them the kind of heated humbuckers you’ll want to engage with — continually switching between the bridge and neck for a never-ending panoply of tonal bliss."
The full review is in this month's Guitar World mag, which also has a great feature on Nuno Bettencourt, so definitely one to grab!
