Pickup Configuration

The KT-Deluxe-G-M uses an S.S configuration with two Alnico 5 YHL Mercury pickups.

The Mercury S2-T52 set is inspired by an early-1950s T-style guitar. YHL’s FSSW winding technology modernizes the design by adding harmonic complexity and extending both the high- and low-frequency response.

Neck Pickup

YHL Mercury S2-T52-N

• Position: Neck

• Pickup type: Single coil

• Magnet: Alnico 5

• DC resistance: 9.1K

• Character: Warm, full and articulate

• Technology: FSSW winding

• Applications: Clean rhythm playing, blues, melodic lead work and traditional picking

The neck pickup combines vintage warmth with enhanced clarity and harmonic detail. Its increased resistance contributes to a fuller response without abandoning the character of a traditional T-style neck pickup.

Bridge Pickup

YHL Mercury S2-T52-B

• Position: Bridge

• Pickup type: Single coil

• Magnet: Alnico 5

• DC resistance: 6.3K

• Character: Bright, dynamic and articulate

• Technology: FSSW winding

• Applications: Country twang, chicken picking, cutting rhythm sounds and expressive lead tones

The bridge pickup retains the recognizable snap and twang of a vintage T-style guitar while adding extended lows, richer harmonics and a more controlled high-frequency response.

Tonal Foundation

The Mercury S2-T52 pickup set maintains the country-influenced twang of a vintage T-style instrument while adapting its response to modern playing requirements.

FSSW winding adds harmonic layers and extends the high and low frequencies. This creates a clearer distinction between conventional flat-pick techniques and the sharper transient response of chicken picking.

Combined with the alder body and roasted maple construction, the pickup set produces a dynamic and articulate voice with strong note definition.
