Scatter-wound by hand with 43AWG plain enamel wire on both bridge and neck, these coils are pure Broadcaster heaven. This is the hottest of the four sets (Flat ‘50, Flat ‘52, ‘55 Stagger and ‘68 Stagger) with a thicker zinc plated steel baseplate, flat profile magnets and authentic vintage 'flat top' deep-drawn brass cover; the Flat 50s have a simply massive sound. Chunky bottom-end and snarling mids create a throaty tone with excellent natural sustain that can really push a tube amp hard.
