Gemini Pickups Mercury One with Dualbucker wiring: 

At long last the Mercury One Humbucker is available for public consumption. I've been refining this pickup since the beginning and I'm now satisfied that I have an exceptional sounding humbucker that's unique enough to stand apart from the zillion other aftermarket humbuckers; many of which also sound exceptional. Without giving too much away the Mercury One combines every element that I've found that makes those magic humbuckers magic. Power, clarity, dynamics and controllability. 

The Dualbucker wiring is a way of splitting a humbucker to a full power single coil. When you split you get a true single coil without a massive volume drop.

Bridge Builder Instruments are the result of Justin Kennedy’s Obsessive Compulsive Disorder combined with countless hours spent repairing, modifying, and observing guitars down to their finest details.

Over the past decade and a half Justin has seen nearly everything in guitars that works and doesn’t. From modern to vintage, big time production instruments to handmade one-offs, flawless custom shop materpieces to steaming pieces of… well let’s just say he’s seen it all cross his workbench at some point. With such a depth of experience Justin has distilled down what he considered to be the best points of electric guitars and applied those to every Bridge Builder instrument. The end result is a series of guitars that are built to the highest standards of playability, durability, tone, and beauty.

Every instrument is individually crafted by a team of neurotic guitar dorks who’ve obsessed about every detail of the instrument and have a heartfelt dedication to producing the finest instruments humans can create.

While no two Bridge Builder instruments are alike, they all are some of the finest guitars available today. We’re confident you’ll be hard pressed to play a better executed electric guitar.
