Marsbucker 14 WD — Power, Given a Human Pulse

​

The Marsbucker 14 FC defines control and authority.
The 14 WD asks a different question: What happens when that power is allowed to breathe?

​

The answer is not less strength—but a different kind of intensity.
One that lives in touch, resonance, and the space between notes.

​

A Voice with Body

​

The WD version shifts the center of gravity.

​

There’s more weight in the sound—not louder, not thicker in a blunt way, but fuller, more dimensional. The midrange carries a rounded density that feels connected to the wood itself, while the highs arrive softly, never forcing their way forward.

​

Compared to the FC, the attack feels less immediate—but more expressive.
Notes don’t jump; they emerge.

​

This is a pickup that rewards restraint as much as aggression.

​

Where Touch Becomes Tone

​

The defining character of the 14 WD is how deeply it responds to your hands.

​

Pick angle, finger pressure, and even how long you let a note hang all shape the result. Roll the volume back, and the sound doesn’t collapse—it opens. Push the amp, and the pickup reacts less like a circuit and more like an extension of the tubes themselves.

​

There’s a subtle elasticity to the response, a non-linear feel that makes the guitar feel alive rather than controlled.

​

The Brown Sound, Revisited—Not Recreated

​

Plugged into classic British-style circuits, the 14 WD finds its natural language.

​

Plexi and 800-style amps respond with a midrange that sings rather than shouts. Harmonics bloom easily, feedback arrives musically, and sustain feels earned, not forced.

​

Even under higher gain, string definition remains intact—not sharp, but articulate. The sound stays human.

​

Split Voices, Without Compromise

​

In split mode, the 14 WD avoids the usual trade-offs.

​

The bridge reveals a clear, open single-coil character with body and warmth intact—closer to a refined Mercury WD sensibility than a typical split humbucker. The neck opens into a smooth, expressive voice that favors phrasing and nuance over output.

​

Transitions between full and split modes feel intentional, not corrective—each voice standing on its own.

​

For Players Who Play the Space Between Notes

​

The Marsbucker 14 WD isn’t about maximum attack or instant gratification.
It’s for players who value feel as much as force, and who understand that tone isn’t just what you hear—but how it reacts back.

​

This is power, translated through touch.
A flagship voice, given a pulse.
