Hey Everybody, first post here, hopefully somebody can help me out.

I've been playing a Fender Showmaster H for several years and absolutely love it. (It's the silver one like the Celtic, but with a tremolo and no celtic logo on the 12th fret).

The tone and power on this guitar is right in my wheelhouse and I'm trying to figure out what pickup is in it.

I've seen it reffered to as an Atomic II Humbucker and also a Santa Ana Humbucker, anybody know what is actually in there?

I'd like to get a couple and use them in some project guitars so any assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Zach

All the information I've been able to find says it's a Santa Ana.

The Fender Atomic is a high-output humbucker from the US pickup shop. The numbers (II & II) refer to pole spacing. Many of the earlier Showmasters I've seen have the Atomic II at the bridge. Neck pickups were usually unique Bill Turner designs for the Showmaster, such as the "Black Canyon" that came on the Showmaster Scorpion.

I believe the Santa Ana was another Bill Turner design specifically for this model and the Cyclone.

I got some information and specs directly from Bill about these a few years ago, but I don't have any idea what became of it. :oops:

Currently US Seymour Duncans come in the HH Showmasters.
