Double P90 coils with four magnets fused into a high-powered hybrid humbucker. This multi-voice sonic beast delivers an entirely new sound profile, blending the deep low-end thump of a traditional humb with the defined mids and crisp, detailed highs of a vintage P90 vibe.

• Dual-P90 Architecture: Fuses two distinct P90 coils into a humbucker format.
• Quad-Magnet Power: Utilizes four magnets for enhanced output and tone.
• True Humbucking: Delivers classic hum-canceling performance with a unique sonic footprint.

The QUADRO eliminates the typical humbucker muffled sound, delivering pristine note separation and crystal-clear chord clarity. Super punchy, responsive, and ultra-quiet, this multi-voice pickup excels across a broad spectrum—cutting through the mix on old-school blues-rock solos and delivering massive, noise-free power for modern high-gain heavy metal riffs.

What happens when you merge two P90s into a single design? This challenging innovation turned out to be a massive success, yielding a distinct sonic signature that breaks the mold of traditional pickup categories. It creates an entirely new sound profile and a completely unique tonal character unlike any standard pickup you have ever heard. Instead of a traditional single magnet, we resolved to use four—which inspired its name. This configuration unlocks major hum-cancellation benefits alongside an immense upgrade in output power and tonal richness. The result is a hybrid beast—part P90, part humbucker—that offers the absolute best of both worlds.
This multi-voice pickup delivers a broader tonal palette than standard humbuckers, eliminating their typical muffled sound. It is super punchy and responsive, making it easy to inject real feeling into your playing. The design integrates advanced modern technology while honoring the legendary 1950s and 1960s tonal heritage of Fender and Gibson. This versatile pickup excels across a broad spectrum, ranging from traditional blues-rock to modern heavy metal where exceptional noise reduction is vital.
Engineered for musicians exploring uncharted sonic territory, our QUADRO Humbuckers blend the deep, low-frequency impact of a traditional humbucker with the defined midrange and sparkling, detailed highs of a P90. This versatile design delivers exceptional clarity for lead work while injecting authoritative weight into chords and power to huge high-gain riffs.

Kinetic QUADRO pickups are not another PAF imitation. Our experience creating Strat, Tele, and P90 pickups that proved to sound very similar to vintage originals from the era helped us build an awesome sounding PAF-style pickup. Most guitar lore is fraught with mystery and haze regarding the vintage sound. A game changer insight was to uncover differences between modern pickups and prime vintage examples.
We believe that vintage humbuckers sound open, warm, balanced, and natural. They "breathe freely" with "the full sound" going forward, thus helping a player to create good music. On the contrary, modern pickups sound mainly harsh, unmusical, and with that feeling as if something is pulling backwards.
We've completed thousands of tests to understand how magnetic fields work in the vintage pickups and the ones we tried to develop. It might be audacious to say, but we've made our best to provide products that sound "in your face", open, musical, and capable of providing that feeling of "free full breath advantage".
We drew inspiration from the late 1950s PAFs to create a genuinely vintage voicing with an open, pleasing, and dynamically broad sound. A lot of effort was put into eliminating the 60-cycle hum and noise, making them more user-friendly for modern players. They are excellent for any style of music, but they excel in classic old rock, blues, and jazz, as well as heavier styles like hard rock and modern metal.
Kinetic QUADRO pickups can deliver the sweet, airy openness that vintage PAFs are known for, with pleasant treble frequencies, punchy mid-range, and well-defined low end. A tempting choice for players seeking vintage tones with improved dynamics so that open chords and lead work all ring out with plenty of resonance and amazing clarity.

We paid significant attention to sound quality because we genuinely love the pickups of the past.
Here's the problem with cheap modern magnets. They provide harsh sounds and unappealing high-end frequencies. They don't let the strings vibrate freely or breathe. We use special order magnets that replicate the chemical metal fusion found in vintage pickups, manufactured at extra expense.
The right amount of wire on a coil is crucial. Modern pickups tend to overwind coils for greater output, but this reduces high-end clarity. Hotter pickups provide better response and make playing easier. But they have increased impedance which acts as a low-pass filter, reducing treble response and compressing your sound.
Vintage pickups have lower output because they have fewer turns of wire. That lower impedance produces a cleaner, more dynamic sound with greater touch sensitivity. This is the defining characteristic of vintage tone. This is the key to that magic you're searching for.
Kinetic Pickups produce output similar to antique models, offering authentic sound as close as possible while providing excellent playability.

Great vintage pickups breathe. There is no other word for it. They open up and let the instrument speak, warm, full, dynamically honest. The warmth isn't just a frequency curve, it's a quality of harmonic presence that makes notes feel complete rather than skeletal. The fullness isn't about volume, it's about how the pickup captures the full spectrum of string vibration rather than just the fundamental and a few select overtones.
After a lot of testing and real study of how magnets behave over time and under string tension, the goal here was to recreate that quality: clear, immediate, expressive. Not a simulation of vintage tone but a faithful reconstruction of what actually made those pickups feel so alive.
When you play, you want the note to bloom the way it does when you hear a great acoustic guitar in a good room. That bloom, that sense of the sound expanding and then slowly decaying, that's what vintage tone means to us.
That's what we were after.
