The Twister builds on the vintage foundation of the Black Dog with additional output to push your amplifier naturally into overdrive.
 
An Alnico 2 neck pickup and Alnico 5 bridge pickup provide warm harmonics, strong dynamics and excellent note separation for energetic riffs and expressive lead playing. The lower-output neck remains clear and balanced against the bridge, avoiding muddiness even with substantial gain.
 
If you want a hotter, more energetic PAF-style set that still sounds open and vintage, the Twister is an excellent choice. It is supplied unpotted by default and uses vintage-style braided ground leads.
 
Every set is built to order. Before winding your pickups, I may contact you to confirm model-specific choices such as RWRP wiring or wax potting. This personal setup service is included at no extra cost.
