Kinman products are created by people who share your passion for sound and tone. Quality is more than a promise, it's a Culture at Kinman.

Four core technologies developed in-house that have raised the world standard of design and manufacturing.

        -Minimal high efficiency noise sensing coils using revolutionery Patented laminated steel construction. Originally developed for the Telecaster bridge pickup to dispense with magnetic shields, and now being applied to other difficult noise cancelling problems.

        -High effficiency string sensing coils using Alnico rod magnets. Using thousands of fewer turns of finer wire these coils generate more output than a regular single coil.

        -Architecture that is both functional and beautiful. The open architecture and unconfined dimensions of my Hx series results in maximum sonic performance.

        -User friendly NoSoldering Harness that provide a wide range of sounds. The first to achieved a 100% solderless solution for Do-It-Yourself installing of new pickups to ones guitar. The Harness line has developed into extending the versatility of the pickups by providing user friendly but complex switching arrangements for expanded sonic horizons.

Why Alnico? Leo Fender designed his pickups with 6 Alnico rod magnets, one for each string. Since then it has become common knowledge that when steel poles are substituted with other kinds of magnets the sound produced is not the real deal Fender trade mark sound. Only Alnico has those mystical properties that makes the much loved authentic Fender sound that is so rich in detail (I call it Tone). Click here for more detailed info.

On these pages you will find the fruits of my efforts. The following is IMPORTANT>>>> Strat Red-pack Blues and Blue-pack Hank Marvin sets feature Aged Tone while the Red pack Traditional Mk-11 set and the Woodstocks feature Un-aged Tone. For an explanation of these different performances follow the links to my Glossary. The Hank Marvin *Strat models are listed separately to the usual Stratocaster models but please check them out as you may very well find them an attractive proposition.

Please visit again soon as I am adding more innovative and exciting products in the not too distant future.
