Montances KAG Anniversary Limited Edition Pale Gold color, British Silver material Overwound Humbucker Pickup | Alnico 8 | Bridge position

One Year. Twelve Pieces.

Created to celebrate the first anniversary of the Montances KAG OVERWOUND Humbucker Pickup Jam Bumanlag signature, this commemorative release is limited to only 12 pieces worldwide.

The KAG Anniversary Limited Edition model features the same artist-approved KAG, now presented in an exclusive anniversary aesthetic featuring a premium UK-sourced Pale Gold color, British Silver material  paired with contrasting chrome hex screws.

No changes to the formula. No compromises to the tone.

Fat, aggressive, and cutting—but never muddy. The Montances KAG OVERWOUND is the result of a demanding collaboration with guitarist Jam Bumanlag, refined through countless prototypes to capture his bold, signature sound. This boutique bridge humbucker pairs a massive 16.8kΩ wind with a powerful Alnico 8 magnet, delivering tight lows, aggressive mids, and a searing top end that cuts through the densest mixes. 

Featuring premium Pale Gold color, British Silver material cover, and chrome hex screws, it is a visual and sonic statement for the modern player who demands their guitar fight back.

Designed and handcrafted in the Philippines. 

Only 12 Anniversary Models will be produced. Once sold out, this commemorative anniversary colorway will be retired.
