Kinman Grunge V2 - Zero-Hum Guitar Pickups

Grunge v2

Under the hood of the Grunge-tang noiseless

Grung v2 Zero-Hum - now with the original Mustang appearance (magnets not visible and no compromise to loudness or sonic character)

Explosively dynamic with cut. Unique sustain envelope designed to promote sustain.

The new V2 is an innovative new design created especially for covers that don't have protruding magnets. We have also introduced the Extra bridge version, it balances better with the neck volume-wise and sounds somewhat thicker without compromising treble response or attack (there is no mud). Mustangs have a shorter scale length so the sound will be deeper, more throaty than the same pickup in a Strat.

Kinman Mustang pickups have special features for the Mustang that no other pickup can give you .......

3 Conductor hook-up wiring that facilitates phase reversal and series switching.
Magnet spreads that align with the strings for excellent string loudness balance regardless of type of bridge.
Nicely balanced string output levels.

Kinman pickups for Mustangs are direct replacements and no modification to the guitar is required.

Some people will call these noiseless Mustang pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Mustang pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars

* Fender and Mustang are registered Trade Marks of Fender Musical Instrument Corp, Inc. Kinman is not associated with FMIC but they kindly permit us to refer to their Trade Marks to reference our products.

Number of parts in this pickup: 31
Number of parts in regular single coil: 9
Number of parts in other brand noiseless: There are no other noiseless Mustang pickups with Alnico rod magnets. Kinman is the only one and that makes it the coolest Mustang pickup available.

Laser engraved nomenclature so you can't forget.

Connection means available

Bare wires for soldering.

Hook-up wires

3 conductors are standard. Cut precisely for the 2 stock Mustang positions (100mm).
Custom lengths by request with Order.

Output Polarity:

in-phase with all other Kinman pickups
in-phase with Gibson and Copy humbuckers
opposite phase to Fender Strat etc

Special features:

we ground the magnets to prevent noise when the magnets are touched
especially desirable when switched in series or reverse phase modes.

Pot & Capacitor values

Best with 250k Ohm (measured), brighter and less punchy with 500k volume pot.
Tone pot is usually the same value as the volume but for a little more top end brightness can be 500k, 1meg or a No-Load.
Normal tone cap value of 0.022uF in 63 ~ 100 volt. Smaller value lessens the severity of Treble cut.

Magnet spread (E-1st ~ E-6th) for perfect string-over-magnet alignment.

Neck - Narrow 49.5mm.
Bridge - Standard 52.5mm (American models) & Intermediate 51mm for models that have a narrow 52mm bridge.

Magnet stagger:

Improved magnet array to suit any fretboard radius.

Pickup cavity:

Japanese (and perhaps American) Mustangs probably need the cavity floors at 16.5mm deep deepened to 20mm, the same as the other cavities. This allows plenty of height adjustment range.

Mounting hardware included

2 Pan head mounting screws.
2 Silicon Rubber tube springs.

Covers - included

Black Standard Kinman cover without height extender bushings.
Also available in White and Aged White.
With and without Kinman logo.
White covers can be tinted with food stains such as Coffee and Tea
Generic covers will not fit Kinman pickups. We sell replacement covers.

We highly recommend consulting the Install Guide in Tech Info even if you think you know it all.

We also highly recommend consulting the Adjust & Set-up page in Tech Info so you get the best out of your Kinman pickups.

Sorry, No YouTube demo for this pickup.

Sorry, No accolades for this pickup.
