— MAGFRAG PRAXIS REFERENCE —
Balanced at the core.
Built to respond.
PraXIS Reference is the balanced voice of the MagFRAG humbucker platform—delivering clarity, articulation, harmonic integrity, and dynamic response in a form that feels familiar, refined, and immediately musical.
— THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM —
The balanced voice
of the PraXIS family.

PraXIS Reference was created to deliver the familiar authority players expect from a great humbucker while refining the areas where many traditional designs begin to fall short—clarity, balance, responsiveness, and control.

It is neither the most open nor the most aggressive voice in the MagFRAG lineup. It is the calibrated center: balanced, expressive, and highly adaptable—designed to preserve musicality while expanding what a humbucker platform can deliver.

— WHY REFERENCE EXISTS —
Not pushed to extremes.
Built to perform across them.

At Its Core

PraXIS Reference was designed to establish the balanced center of the MagFRAG humbucker system—delivering familiar authority, refined articulation, dynamic control, and musical consistency without excessive coloration or forced compression.

In Real Use

For players seeking versatility, Reference offers an ideal starting point—adapting naturally across guitars, amplifiers, and playing styles while preserving the expressive relationship between instrument, player, and rig.

Hear PraXIS Reference.

PraXIS Reference was created as a complete matched set—balanced, expressive, and musical from the first note. These clips showcase both bridge and neck positions across the instrument’s full dynamic range, from articulate cleans to full drive.

By moving through pickup positions and guitar volume, PraXIS Reference transitions naturally between openness, push, and expressive control.

The result is immediate: clean when you pull back, powerful when you lean in, and connected everywhere in between.

Les Paul — Clean

A clean performance captured through the Kitchen Sink 6VEL’s clean channel—demonstrating how the matched PraXIS Reference set remains open, articulate, and expressive across the full instrument.

Les Paul — Dynamic Drive

Through the Kitchen Sink 6VEL’s Plexi channel, the matched set delivers greater push and authority—then cleans back beautifully as the player rolls the volume down mid-performance.

Performed by Nashville guitarist Tyler Tomlinson using matched PraXIS Reference humbuckers through a 3rd Power Kitchen Sink 6VEL amplifier, utilizing both clean and Plexi channels to demonstrate the platform’s full expressive range.

From pristine clean passages to driven response, PraXIS Reference remains balanced, responsive, and fully connected to the player’s touch.
