Silvertone
Custom USA 'Wideboy' pickups
By Rio Grande
Custom Mini Humbucking pickups
By Trev Wilkinson
We collaborated with Rio Grande Pickups to design
a new Lipstick set that offers players a traditional single
coil tone with a beefy midrange and higher output
for lead playing and driving guitar pedals.
Think of it as sounding somewhere
between a 60’s strat® pickup and a P90.
Hand made in Houston, Texas,
this pickup features an Alnico 5
bar magnet with plain enamel
44AWG pure copper wire.
To recreate these iconic pickups, Silvertone enlisted the services of legendary
designer Trev Wilkinson. His Wilkinson ”R series” pickups use only “vintage correct”
materials and parts, assembled with precision and attention to detail
that adheres to the historical construction methods used by the pioneers
of the original classics. Both the covers and backing plates use unique tooling
(rather than just modifing an existing mini humbucker) and the Alnico V bar magnets
and winding wire are period correct, and wound to a Lower K Ohms resistance
than common mini humbuckers, thereby imparting a unique tonal character
to these pickups.The bridge pickup has been slightly overwound by 5% to better
match the neck pickups output.
These pickups will install perfectly into any modern mini humbucking size pickup ring.

Silvertone 'TWIN TREM'
Silvertone 'TWIN TWELVE'
The Silvertone ‘Twin Trem’ features two completely independent
tremolo circuits. The left side is a recreation of the original
Silvertone optical tremolo, the right side is a modern interpretation
of an early 1960’s style harmonic tremolo. The two circuits can be
used together as a single pedal to create unique otherworldly sound FX.
They can also be used like two separate pedals. Each circuit has its own
independent input and output jacks. For instance, placing the
harmonic tremolo in front of your delay and reverb, and the optical tremolo
after the reverb as it was in the original 1484 Twin Twelve.
The two tremolos’ can also be run separately in a stereo setup combining
the two independent settings in midair!
The Silvertone Twin Trem will transport you to a new dimension of sound.
In 1963, history was made with the release of the Silvertone
Twin Twelve Amplifier. Originally listed in the sears catalog as the 1484,
the Twin Twelve was offered from 1963 to 1967 and became the most
coveted of all the Silvertone amplifiers. The unique sound of this amplifier
proudly powers the tones of many of today’s best rock icons such as
Jack White, Dave Grohl, Beck, Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day),
Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) and many more. An exact recreation
of the legendary Twin Twelve amplifier, the SP1484 Twin Twelve Pedal
can be used as a studio grade preamp, booster, EQ or overdrive
depending on how the controls are set. Bring back the classic Silvertone
clean and overdriven tones and own the tone of legends.
