Dummy Coil AIR CORE Mini Humbucker Bobbin Single Coil Noiseless Guitar Pickup Silencer
38,00 € VAT Excluded Price. If required VAT is applied at checkout.
Q Pickups “Air Core” DUMMY COIL is designed to be wired with an existing magnetic single coil guitar pickup. Its purpose is to remove 50-60Hz cycle hum / buzz associated with single coil pickups.
For a dummy coil, the important value is not the DC resistance in kΩ, but the inductance in Henries. A coil can read high kΩ and still work poorly if the inductance is wrong.
The dummy coil should typically have an inductance equal to about 30–40% of the pickup.
Since most F-style single coil pickups are around 2–4 H, a dummy coil around 0.8–1.4 H usually gives the best balance between hum canceling and preserving brightness and attack.
Below that range, hum reduction becomes weak. Above roughly 40% of the pickup inductance the tone often starts getting darker and less dynamic.

When wired in series with single coil pickup it will darken the tone by taking away some of the high freq.- wired in parallel it will increase the high freq. – both types of connections will ensure noiseless operation.
Each coil is built to order and shipped out in 3-5 business days, feel free contact us so we can adjust the inductance to match your pickups.
Handling and production time is 3 – 5 business days. Orders with larger quantity of pickups (5 or more pcs) might take longer.
Combined shipping – the items you have purchased will be shipped together in the same package and the actual costs will be calculated at the checkout page.
Available shipping options are Croatia Post AIR MAIL priority registered shipping service (usually 1-2 weeks to the EU and 2-4 weeks overseas) or DHL International Express (5-10 days to the EU and 7-14 days overseas). Tracking information will be available at 17track, USPS or DHL web tracking service.
The actual delivery time may vary depending on your location and customs/postal processing time.
