The Katana Humbucker was designed inspired by Nuno Bettencourt’s powerful, articulate and aggressive tone, with a clear focus on high output, maximum definition and instant pick attack response.
Built with cellulose fiber, blade pole pieces, and a ceramic magnet, Katana delivers a thick, dense and forward sound, with tight lows, strong mids and focused highs — staying controlled and clear even under heavy distortion.
It’s made for powerful drives, precise riffs and harmonic-rich leads, keeping clarity in high-gain setups. The natural ceramic compression helps sustain, while the blade design keeps string-to-string balance consistent.
Handcrafted in Brazil to the Pinheiro Pickups Custom Shop standard, Katana Humbucker is ideal for players who want power, aggression and absolute definition, without losing musicality.
