Fantastic pickups , fantastic service and absolutely amazing support from Shawn.
Bridge 8.7 kΩ · Neck 8.3 kΩ · UK sand-cast Alnico II · Neck magnet reversed · Full specs
The hollow, vocal out-of-phase middle sound, with clarity close to a single coil. On its own, each pickup is a full, balanced PAF.
Full and driving, with a firm low end, thick mids and a sweet top that never turns harsh. Leads sing, and it cleans up as you roll the volume back.
Warm and full, with vocal mids and a sweet top end. Single notes sing with a clear, expressive voice, clean or driven.
Hollow, vocal and flute-like. With both volumes up it’s lean and cutting. Roll one back and it turns warmer and thicker, and stays clear.

Typical measurements, not fixed targets. Inductance and capacitance measured at 1 kHz. DC resistance varies with temperature.
Long legs, as standard, suit Les Paul, SG, ES-335 and other semi-hollows, Explorer and Flying V.
Short legs suit PRS, Strats and Teles with humbucker routes, many Ibanez and Schecter models and some Epiphones. Ask for them in your order notes.
Height, as a starting point, measured from the top of the cover to the bottom of the open string:
Then fine-tune by ear. Leave the leads full length until you’re sure you’re keeping them.
Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to fit them, play them and decide. If they’re not right in your guitar, send them back for a refund, or swap them for another model.
Two conditions: the leads must be full length and uncut (soldering them in is fine), and the pickups need to come back undamaged in their original packaging. You pay the return postage.
Refunds go to your original payment method within 5–7 working days of the pickups arriving back. This guarantee is in addition to your legal rights, which are not affected. Read the full returns policy
Long legs (standard) suit guitars with deep pickup routes: Les Paul, SG, ES-335 and other semi-hollows, Explorer and Flying V. Short legs suit shallower routes: PRS, Strats and Teles with humbucker routes, many Ibanez and Schecter models and some Epiphones.
Easiest check: look at the legs on your current pickups and match them. Still not sure? Send me your guitar model and I’ll check.
No. Like original PAFs, they are unpotted.
Vintage braided is the traditional single-conductor braided cable. With standard controls it gives the traditional out-of-phase middle position.
Choose 4-conductor if you want coil splitting, phase switching or series/parallel wiring. The middle stays out of phase unless you change the wiring.
