I can't take it anymore...

What the heck is an HW2 pickup? I've seen a few TAGs in stock with this pickup in the bridge now. Do I want one in my Atom when I order it?

Maybe somebody hit the "W" key on their way to the "2" on the keyboard. :D

From an earlier discussion, Tom chimes in...

ok, here's the story of how the name came about.
the hw2 is the construction style of an h2 but with the wire layering like an ho2... since we didn't have enough character room in the name to call it h2o, we added the w, for water. it has a softer top end than the regular h2. it didn't work for me as well, but jesse here loves his.

Love mine as well. I've got an HW3.

Sounds cool to me. I might just have to try it when I get around to ordering my Atom. I'm still early in the process of wrestling with the specs and am torn between a fullsize humbucker in the bridge with two Ms or just two fullsize buckers. Do the Ms balance well with the HW2 or would a fullsize be a better match?

[tom]

the m's balance well. there seems to be plenty of folks that love neck humbuckers. they are always too big for me though.
