Richard Z Kruspe is the world-renowned lead guitarist of the industrial band Rammstein, famous for their incendiary live performances and loyal fan base.

This Fluence Signature Series set is one of the first to introduce three distinct and useful sounds into the Modern ceramic and Modern alnico humbuckers with a hybrid magnet configuration. Based on our Modern Humbuckers, we added a distinctive Voice 3 to each pickup for true, crystal-clear single coil tone, available alongside the two voices that RZK already loves.

Richard Z Kruspe Signature Series Neck Pickup features

All the musicality, power and explosiveness of alnico.Full chords and fluid solos, plus a voice you’ve never heard in a humbucker, and a true single coil tone.

  • Voice 1 (Modern Active High Output): The ideal active alnico sound. Full, round, and boosted, but with unprecedented articulation and dynamics.
  • Voice 2 (Crisp, clean and fluid): The clean, crisp neck humbucker tone you’ve always wanted, with out the thin, plinky sound you don’t.
  • Voice 3 (Single Coil): Glassy, Scooped, Hi-fi

Richard Z Kruspe Signature Series Bridge Pickup features

Cutting ceramic attack. Brutal active aggression and passive punch in the same guitar, plus a true single coil tone.

  • Voice 1 (Modern Active High Output): The ideal active ceramic humbucker tone. Crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl.
  • Voice 2 (Crisp, clean and fluid): Organic, high output, passive ceramic tone. Superb distortion characteristics with Fluence dynamics and response.
  • Voice 3 (Single Coil): Cutting, overwound single coil
