With two models that have a variety of options, you’re sure to find a Mongoose that fulfills your tonal needs with a look that matches your style.
Low Output Humbucker
Paf like in character, the Retro has a warm clean sound with nice top end that’s not too bright, even at midrange response. Nice overdrive with good articulation. Smooth, creamy, classic voicing.
Neck: alnico 5 magnets, counter clockwise winding direction, screw coil south and slug coil north polarity, 53mm wide f spacing, 50mm narrow g spacing. straight humbuckers have a standard coil layout and slanted humbuckers have a traditional tyler coil layout with pickup at angle and offset coils. dc specs 7.25 +/-
High Output Humbucker
Modern straight-up rock pickup. Strong low end, less mid-range push than the Shark or the California Special, but more top end with a nice presence. Great for high gain. Cleans up nicely.
Alnico 5 magnets, counter clockwise winding direction, screw coil south and slug coil north polarity, 53mm wide f spacing, 50mm narrow g spacing. straight humbuckers have a standard coil layout and slanted humbuckers have a traditional Tyler coil layout with pickup at angle and offset coils. dc specs 17.60 +/-
