A P-90, with a 50's / 60's style jangly beatbacker sound and a switchable hot P90 sound

The Cherubim has compound wire coils. A first layer of wire is used for the beatbacker sound. This is then overwound with a finer wire to produce the full P-90 sound.

The beatbacker sound drove the british invasion of the 60's, as well as being famous for it's use in 12 string folk rock. The Cherubim provides this for any guitar that takes a P-90, with the additional advantage of switching up to a full P-90 sound for a wide range of blues and rock sounds.

Cherubim bridge and neck units are wound to be hum-cancelling in the middle position when combined with each other or the tapped single coil sounds of Gemini humbuckers.
