Description
 
Johnny Hilands Signature set of Dual Blades. A set of 3 single coil sized dual blades made to Johnny Hilands tonal requirements. These are not your ordinary dual blades, they were months in the designing and trials in Johnny's personal guitars. The magnets and blades were custom made and the bobbin is made of vintage fiber flat work.
These Dual Blade can play Rock, Jazz, Blues, Country and yes you can Chicken Pick on them.
**We recommend you use high quality 500K pots for a brighter tone and 250K for a darker tone and a .047uF capacitor with them.
The inductance in Henries is: Neck 1.9, Middle 2.5, Bridge 5.8
Demo by In The Blues

JohnnyBlade Loaded Pickguard with 500K pots January 17, 2013
Reviewer: Michael McWilliams from Louisville, KY United States  
Installing the pickguard was less than an hour.  The Blades like to be close to the strings to drive them efficiently, and once I found the sweet spot, wow! Using a Blues Deluxe with a mild overdrive pedal, the sound is sweet and dead quiet.

They are touch sensitive, bright and tight with a smooth bottom end. Classic sounding when strummed, digging into them will get you great SRV overtones in the neck and classic Hendrix in the middle, especially with overdrive. There is plenty of quack available thanks to the optional push switch tone control to access all 7 combinations.

The bridge pickup is incredible. I don't normally play the bridge because it has always been too bright or wimpy,  but this JohnnyBlade has it's own voice without being strident, yet there is enough treble when I want to push it. In fact, David's pickguard is the ONLY Strat setup I've played where the tone controls are useful enough to fatten up the tone instead sounding like someone threw a blanket over it.
