The Alchemy Hartshorn is named for the horns of a stag, once thought to have medicinal and alchemical properties, and created on the principle of having a strong and majestic sound, that doesn't compromise on having organic harmonic overtones. The neck pickup is powered by an AlNiCo III magnet at a relatively high wind, giving it unparalleled sustain and clarity in the position, with a natural, woody warmth, but not too much presence in the lower mid-range. This is perfect for soloing, as the naturally even EQ of the AIII magnet, and power of the wind, lend themselves to higher gain application just as well as clean ones, and notes will ring out noticeably longer, particularly when boosted. The partnering bridge pickup is an AlNiCo VIII with high output, providing crushing rhythm tones, super tight low end, thick upper mids and more than enough power to handle huge gain, whilst still sounding perfectly at home played clean.
 
The Hartshorn can be special ordered with a ceramic bridge, which will give a slightly scooped midrange, more brittle high end while retaining (and slightly emphasising) the tightness in the bass.
