Rapier Calibrated Set

from $300.00

The Rapier set is built for players who value speed, precision, and control over brute force. Designed as a perfectly matched pair, the bridge and neck pickups work together to deliver a wide dynamic range, sharp articulation, and rich harmonic complexity across the entire fretboard.

The Rapier bridge is a weapon of focus and intensity. Wound to 14k with a 6.8H inductance, it is sharp enough to carve through any mix while remaining balanced and clear. Its asymmetrical coil structure adds an edge of unpredictability, unleashing harmonic overtones that leap from the strings with ease. Anchored by a fully charged Alnico 5 magnet, the bridge delivers a bright, slicing attack with tight low end control and a high midrange bite. Pinch harmonics jump to the surface at the lightest touch, making every riff and lead line bristle with authority and precision.

The Rapier Neck is the counterbalance to its lethal bridge companion, offering the same speed and precision in a more refined, expressive form. Wound to 8.5k with an asymmetrical coil structure, it provides exceptional clarity and touch sensitivity while preserving the harmonic complexity that defines the Rapier voice. Powered by an Alnico 5 magnet, it maintains a firm low end and crisp attack without becoming boomy, allowing fast passages to stay articulate and clean tones to shimmer with detail. Single notes take on a vocal quality, while chords remain layered and dimensional, making it ideal for fluid leads, articulate rhythm work, and expressive clean playing.

Vacuum wax potted and 4 conductor wired for full versatility, the Rapier set is precision tuned for players who want their tone to strike fast, cut clean, and remain controlled no matter how hard they push it.
