MOJOTONE Bill Kelliher Artist Signature 'Hellbender' Pickup Set with Bill Kelliher

After over a year of collaboration, research, and development, Mojotone and Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher are proud to introduce Kelliher's all new Artist Signature pickup, the 'Hellbender.'

“Mastodon covers a wide array of sounds and tones, I needed a pickup that can pull off the gauntlet of tones needed for the band while leaving room to inspire new sounds." -Bill Kelliher.
With its distributed coil design, using two different wire gauges for increased dynamics and smooth coil tapped tones, the Hellbender pickup set offers versatility to players in need of every sound from brutal high gain crunch to delicate and lush cleans. Two different Alnico grades (2 & 5) are used to individually voice the neck and bridge pickups; this helps the user retain articulation while using complex high gain tones or heavily effected sounds. Finally, ceramic magnets are blended in with the Alnico magnets to achieve tighter attack, more output, and just the right amount of sustain when kicked into overdrive.

Hellbenders in a Sparrowhawk into a Butterslax. Used to be Dissonant Aggressors in either a Halcyon or Golden Axe into a Butterslax… Gotta love the time and effort that Bill takes in naming his gear.

Perfect timing. I really want new pickups for my Les Paul and this is just perfect

[@ehambright]

[@WardGuitarCabinets]

I have been asking about these for months and I’d bet the guys and gals over at Mojotone fuckjng hate me 😂 I’m so excited! I only wish there were a gold option so I can use them in my black/gold Sparrowhawk.

[@Victinfien]

There is now

[@raviolitrail]

I'm putting these bad bois into my explorer tomorrow. I can't wait

[@x7stringinJSCx]

Cool how they come with the option of covered and uncovered. Not many people give that choice. Thinking of grabbing a set once I figure out which guitar to put them in lol.

[@SteveMcT]

Man I wish they were selling the sparrowhawk in that color with the hellbenders

[@akrmfk]

Blending alnico n ceramic huh?😮😮

[@moosewarren3337]

He really be going through a lot of companies for pickups. Hasn't he already been through 2/3? Sounds sick tho.

[@caca_spaniel_1239]

I was about to get Suhr Aldrichs, now I want this instead

[@Slqazwsx]

He was with Lace for years, the Sparrowhawk came with SDs but I can't find any info on them. Before being endorsed he used SD Distortions
