Patterson Guitars Alabama Slammers
Handwound Humbuckers — Built for Tone That Hits Hard and Rings True
Crafted for players who crave depth, dynamics, and detail, the Alabama Slammers bring vintage soul and modern edge together in a single, expressive voice. Inspired by the warm, articulate tones of the 1950s, these pickups are handwound in small batches using Alnico 5 magnets—the secret behind so many classic sounds.
Whether you’re chasing glassy cleans, gritty overdrive, or rich harmonic sustain, the Alabama Slammers deliver with clarity and conviction. They’re made for players who know how good tone should feel.
Vintage Heart, Modern Control
With medium output and a perfectly voiced EQ curve, these pickups bring out the best in your guitar—tight lows, singing mids, and smooth, open highs. The neck is wound for warmth and nuance, while the bridge pickup is pushed hotter for drive, bite, and bold presence.
Each Alabama Slammer features individually adjustable pole screws for tailored response, a fixed slug coil for punch, and four-conductor wiring to unlock endless tonal flexibility—coil splits, series/parallel, out-of-phase options, and more.
