Marsbucker 14 FC — A New Reference in Power and Control

Some pickups are designed to do one thing exceptionally well.
The Marsbucker 14 FC was designed to do many—without ever sounding conflicted.

At its core, the 14 FC is about authority with intelligence. A voice built for players who need weight, clarity, and range in equal measure—whether the amp is barely breathing or pushed to its limits.


The Core Voice

The full humbucker mode delivers a sound that feels immediate and confident.

Low end is firm and disciplined. It stays tight even under heavy gain, giving riffs impact without blur.

Midrange is dense and harmonically rich, carrying that familiar tube-driven thickness while remaining articulate across complex chords.

High frequencies extend naturally, adding presence and definition without crossing into fatigue or sharpness.


It’s a powerful voice, but never a careless one. Every note arrives with shape and intention.


Split-Coil, Reconsidered

Where the Marsbucker 14 FC truly sets itself apart is in how it handles coil-splitting.

In the bridge position, the split tone steps away from the usual thin, compromised sound. Instead, it opens into a focused, musical single-coil character—clear, responsive, and balanced, with a refinement closer to a Mercury-style voice than a typical split humbucker.

In the neck position, the split reveals a warm, open clarity that favors nuance over output. Chords remain defined, single notes bloom gently, and the tone sits comfortably in jazz, blues, or clean-driven contexts.

Switching between modes feels natural, not corrective—as if each voice was intended, not an afterthought.


Across Amplifiers, Across Styles

The 14 FC adapts without losing its identity.

Vintage-style amps respond with rich, singing overdrive and layered harmonics.
Modern high-gain setups retain definition and control, even under saturation.
Direct or studio environments translate with surprising depth, capturing the sense of a mic’d cabinet rather than a flat signal.


Designed for Players Who Expect More

The Marsbucker 14 FC isn’t about excess.
It’s about having range without dilution, power without loss of detail, and flexibility without compromise.

One pickup. Multiple voices. All of them usable
