Roswell Pickups LAF9 Seraphim Custom Neck Matt Chrome Humbucker Pickup

Humbucker Pickup for Neck Position — 6-String Electric Guitars

The Roswell Pickups LAF9 Seraphim Custom Neck Matt Chrome is a passive humbucker pickup designed for the neck slot of a standard 6-string electric guitar. It belongs to the Seraphim Custom Wound Pickups series, built around a custom winding process. The pickup uses an Alnico 5 bar magnet paired with a 4-pole shielded output wire for clean signal transfer. Finished in matt chrome, it has a subdued, low-glare appearance suited to vintage-style instruments. At approximately 147 g, it matches standard humbucker mass without altering guitar balance.

Custom-Wound Construction with Shielded Output

The Seraphim Custom series uses a custom winding process rather than a generic production run. An Alnico 5 bar magnet serves as the standard alloy choice in the humbucker family. The 4-pole shielded output wire rejects electromagnetic interference from stage lighting and wireless systems. Together, these design choices suit both studio recording and live performance. The passive design requires no battery or preamp — the pickup connects directly to the guitar's control circuit.
