remenco

Remenco refers to a type of electric guitar pickup designed and manufactured by the company Rickenbacker. These pickups are distinctive for their bright, clear, and often aggressive tone, which has been a hallmark of Rickenbacker instruments since the 1960s. The design typically involves a unique combination of materials and winding techniques that contribute to their characteristic sound. Remenco pickups are often associated with the "Rickenbacker sound," a tone sought after by many guitarists in various genres, particularly rock, pop, and indie music. They are known for their strong mid-range presence and a certain chime-like quality in the upper frequencies. While Rickenbacker has produced various pickup models over the years, the term "Remenco" is often used generically to describe these iconic Rickenbacker single-coil pickups. Their distinctive appearance, often housed in chrome bezels, also contributes to the visual identity of Rickenbacker guitars. The specific design and components of Remenco pickups have been subject to much discussion and admiration among guitar enthusiasts and musicians.
