The BPNCS is a low impedance air coil built in a replacement backplate and removes the hum while preserving the true single coil pickup tone. G&L guitars with 1, 2 or 3 strat style single coil pickups can be retrofitted with BPNCS G&L

Description

ILITCH BPNCS for G&L style guitars
Enjoy your play and tone without the hum

DESIGN:

The BPNCS for Fender Stratocaster is based on the original Strat backplate shape, keeping the same location of the six mounting holes. We have designed a low impedance air coil built into the backplate to create this transparent hum canceling device. A small adjusting PCB is provided for easy installation and fine tuning. LEFT handed guitar will require a custom BPNCS model. Please contact us to discuss it first before placing your order with us. The outside dimensions of the BPNCS are slightly larger (about 3/8″ / 10mm in each direction) than the original. You can check the BPNCS Fender Stratocaster guitar geometry by printing the PDF in 100% scale, cut outline, punch holes and check the match

STRENGTH SELECTING:
1. Base your selection on your pickups brand and model spec the alnico rod magnets type and the DC resistance in KΩ.
2. You can measure the DC resistance of the pickups (using a digital multimeter at 20 KΩ range or automatic) in the following way:
= Plug in a normal guitar cable into the guitar output jack
= Put Volume Tone pots at their Max position
= Go to position 1 – Bridge pickup only
= Measure the DC resistance between Sleeve and Tip at the other side of the guitar cable jack
= Do same for the other pickups and write down the readings
Then you select the BPNCS STRENGTH you need
VNT – Strength 8 – for Alnico polepiece pickups 5-6.5 KΩ resistance
STD – Strength 10 – for Alnico polepiece pickups 6-8 KΩ resistance
POW – Strength 15 – for Alnico polepiece pickups 9-13 KΩ resistance/Steel screw poles pickups (NOT P90!) 7-9 KΩ resistance
HOT – Strength 20 – for Steel screw poles pickups P90 7-9 KΩ resistance
