A brief history of Kent Armstrong:
In the early 1970’s, Kent got his start rewinding pickups in his father, Dan Armstrong’s New York City
repair shop. Eventually, Kent took over the repair shop and added a partner: pickup designer Bill
Lawrence. With Bill’s help, Kent continued his accumulation of pickup knowledge, and it was at this
time that he started building his first pickups. After moving to England to attend college, Kent opened
a rewind and repair shop and started designing new ways to manufacture his own line of pickups.
Today, Kent is one of the foremost pickup designers in the industry. Kent still has one goal in mind:
To give every player their dream sound.

PATENT APPLIED FOR STYLE GOLD VINTAGE G
Code: VINTAGE G
Price: $80.00
PATENT APPLIED FOR STYLE CHROME VINTAGE C
Code: VINTAGE C
Price: $75.00
ALNICO MAGNET/ D.C. RESISTANCE=8.9K- The “Vintage”
series humbucker still remains the most popular humbucker
in the Armstrong line. These are PAF style humbuckers that
use the Alnico 5 bar magnet to produce classic humbucking
sounds. The Armstrong version of this PAF style pickup is a
touch “cleaner” sounding than other manufacturer’s
versions, yet still sounds rich and full with great warmth. This
pickup works amazing in a variety of musical styles,
providing just the right amount of output for almost any
application. Another harmonycentral.com favorite, this
pickup gets a rating of 10 (out of 10) across the board. We
think it goes to 11!
Great as a set, or with the HOT PAF WPUJB in the bridge
position (another favorite combo). For an H/S/S, try this
pickup with our STV bridge and STV mid.

KENT ARMSTRONG™ HOT ROD VINTAGE PICKUP GOLD
Code: WPUJBGD
Price: $80.00
KENT ARMSTRONG™ HOT ROD VINTAGE PICKUP CHROME
Code: WPUJBC
Price: $75.00
ALNICO / D.C. =15K- Hot Alnico 5 PAF Style. The WPUJB is a high
output Alnico 5 humbucker that takes the Vintage series humbucker,
and adds enough windings to choke a small pony (no amimals were
harmed in the making of this pickup). This means more mids, less
highs, and more output than a PAF. Combine this pickup with a
Vintage series humbucker in the neck and you’ve got the
combination that Kent himself refers to as simply “The Rocker”. 4
conductor wiring for coil tap options. For a great H/S/S combo, try
this pickup with our TVS4 bridge and mid. Available in Gold and
Chrome finishes.

Burns Trisonic V Pickup
Code: WPUTRI V
Price: $75.00
Ceramic / D.C. = 6.4K- Flat Earth Guitars Is pleased to introduce the
Kent Armstrong Burns Tri-Sonic V Pickup. Enclosed in a chrome
cover, true to the original vintage design, the Armstrong 'Tri-Sonic'
is a wonderfully unique sounding pickup that's easy on the eyes.
This version uses fewer windings, resulting in a brighter sound,
which is closer to the original pickups that Brian May used in his
"Red Special" Guitar.
Dimensions- Length- 3 In., Length Across Mounting Tabs- 3.65 In.,
Width- .93 In.
This pickup can be used in a conventional single coil body rout with
alittle 'coaxing.' You may have to do some minor Dremeling in some
instances. You will most definitely need to modify your pickguard.
