The XS62 is a single coil with a difference. It has six hard nickel pole pieces with a slightly over wound coil on a stressed field ceramic magnet base. For a single coil, this pickup exudes power, but without sacrificing any of the tonal qualities that we love about single coils. The middle pickup is reverse wound so that hum is cancelled when used in combination with either the neck or bridge pickups.
