These are the best pickups I’ve ever owned. They revived my old tele. Sounds are great, almost no hum and they even brought the look of the guitar up a notch. The service was very good too. I got all the help I needed during selection and every need was accommodated. Couldn’t have been happier with the results.

Put this combo in my FrankenTele with 4 way pickup switch. Kickass sound. Well balanced tone when using both pickups. Very smooth bridge pickup without the brittle highs liquifying your ear drums. With pickups set to series via the 4 way switch, it makes for a great grungy lead sound. Highly recommend PegCity Puckups. Kris is very knowledgeable and very helpful. You can't go wrong with PegCity.

Installed a VS-61 Custom set in a G&L Legacy (Strat-style). Was very much hoping to get back to a vintage sounding, but versatile, single coil instrument - mission accomplished! Kris/Pegcity recommended Alnico 3 magnets with 42 awg Heavy Formvar wire, wax potted, reverse wound middle pickup, bridge pickup base plate, cream covers. It's a very special combination of pickups, surprisingly quiet as single coils go (it's hum-cancelling in positions 2 & 4). Beautiful warm to bright clean tones, funky "quack" middle positions, to exceptional overdriven timbres from blues-rock to jazz fusion and beyond. Also works very well with the G&L's P.T.B. system (passive treble and bass controls). Exceptionally pleased, and there's been myriad replacement designs in this instrument.

Installed this in a 1978 Les Paul Deluxe with the bridge position routed for a full-size humbucker (originally a mini-humbucker). A5 magnet, 9.2k output, 5.5h inductance, 42 awg poly coat wire, wax potted, nickel cover. This LP is a stable, heavy but great sounding instrument, and the 2-Stroke is a tremendous match with the neck pickup (still a mini-hum - see my Little Bucks review). Was looking for a design that highlighted the naturally articulate timbre of the guitar, while remaining true to the more vintage vibe of the instrument. The 2-Stroke pairs very well with the neck pickup for funkier, clean middle position sounds. Perhaps more importantly, it reacts to overdriven tones with great versatility, reacting musically to legato and staccato single note lines to dynamic chord voicing. Pairs very well straight into vintage style amps as well as myriad effect pedals. Super versatile choice.

These PUs sound great. I focus more on cleaner tones and they deliver nice character and balance. Of course they sound dandy overdriven as well. I would certainly deal with Kris again. Go for it!

Installed this pickup in the neck of a 1978 Les Paul Deluxe - bridge routed for a full-sized humbucker, but neck still original mini-humbucker route. A heavy but very stable guitar with a maple over mahogany neck (rosewood 'board), not uncommon for the era. Bit tricky to pair the mini with a full-size pickup, but Kris/Pegcity suggested a most musical, complimentary match. My Little Bucks neck is 7.0k output and 3.7h inductance using an A4 magnet as recommended (pots now 500k, over original 300k). Coil wire 42 awg poly coat, nickel cover. It's a beautiful sounding pickup - most responsive to volume/tone settings, warm and jazzy on clean sounds, vocal and expressive with overdriven timbres, pairs well in middle toggle position. Really highlights the versatile voice of this old school dual humbucker instrument (see my 2-Stroke bridge review). Couldn't be more pleased.

I have these pickups in a 2022 manalishi green jackson soloist. This was the first time I read the description of a pickup set, and it was 100 percent true. The tight lows, smooth highs and harmonic richness of these pickups are phenomenal, I find they are quite reactive to the touch, with gentle little harmonics peeking over each note.. The two pickups match each other well, and being a guy who doesn’t like neck pickups often, this one I really do. The output is perfect for recording levels on my Scarlett focusrite. If a guy is skilled in soldering, I’d recommend a parallel series split to see more of the incredible range of these pickups. You could wash the makeup off from your rock show put the cowboy hat on and go to town playing lead in a country band after with this set. Highly recommend these babies! 5/5 all day. Tested with a valve king, dual rectifier, a boss katana and bias fx

I finally had a chance to install these in my Les Paul and they were definitely worth the wait. The bridge is rockin’ without sounding harsh and the neck just sings. Kris was great to work with and delivered as promised. Get this set and love your guitar again!

I was in the process of building my version of a Tele with a Trem King tremolo and wanted a pickup combination that would suit this guitar. Talked to Kris and he came up with a variation of the Mississippi Blues set to suit my needs. The single coil bridge pickup still maintains the twang that it is known for and the neck hotter neck humbucker still sounds really clear and clean, when split it has a pretty good single coil sound. It made for a very versatile guitar with several great tones. Keep up the great work Kris.

As a builder I have used several big name boutique pickups and have to say that Kris makes a pickup that rivals any of them. These 66er’s went into a custom build and sound absolutely amazing. They accomplished exactly what I was looking for, that great Jimmy Page sound. Great Company and top rated customer service.

Your pickup is amazing, I've tried alot of stuff but this one knocks them all out of the park. High output without losing clarity. Thick and chunky but also very clear, thank you so much🤘🏽

I bought the Angry Widow to change the stock EMG 81-7 in my LTD M-7 Baritone (only one pickup). I was bored by the ultra flat EQ curve of the active humbucker and was looking for something to go passive. As i already own the AW in the six string version, i was pretty sure that it will upgrade my tone (and how it feels to play the guitar) a lot. I had a professional change the pickup for me as the wiring had to be changed as well.
The tone is now super clear, especially has a bit more usable lowend, which i really enjoy playing a seven string in Drop A and way crisper highs than the EMG – which often felt a little lifeless and flat, too mid focused for my taste.

When playing a guitar with only a bridge humbucker I really need the pickup to be versatile, clear in chords but still enough punch when chugging the low strings. Enough clarity playing cleans (as a full range humbucker or split coil) but still present and rich enough to work in a heavy musical context!

Thx to Kris and Pegcity for building this outstanding passive high output pickup – cannot wait to write a lot of riffs and leads with the Angry Widow!

Finally got my set installed. Honestly, I'm loving them. I'm used to lower impedance/output pickups + fuzz tones rather than modern high gain sound, but I wanted a proper shredder. These satisfy my face melting and knifing through butter needs. Plus, they sound kinda awesome clean as well.. Not as bright as a single coil guitar, but they sound clear and nicely compressed. I'm a fan!

Nice balance. I was replacing Epiphone stock pickups. These are way better of course. Nice and hot but clean. Looking forward to gigging with them.

My client, Jeremy, is a recording artist pushing the line between instrumental rock and fusion, and needed a new set of HSH pickups to really finish out the customization on his signature guitar. We had selected a set that sounded on paper like the right ones, but Kris steered us over to the Private Stock set with a TC-204 in the middle position. Kris is the only guy I know who can listen to your body of work and land on exactly the right pickup for you. Every. Single. Time. Jeremy has been loving the warmth and bite these awesome and unique humbuckers, and I have plans to use them in even more guitars in the future.
