Pegcity Pickups

In 2020 a small idea led to something we didn't expect.

My name is Kris and along side of me is my wife Christine. Together we are Pegcity Pickups. Located in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.  

What started out as a fun little hobby quickly grew into a small part time business. Over the past 6 years we have grown into a much larger space, operating at fulltime capacity and producing 100's of pickups a year. The support of the guitar community in Canada, the USA and even reaching as far as some countries in Europe and Asia has been overwhelming to say the least. We couldn't be more grateful. We've even had the pleasure of shipping to Australia a few times this past year as well. 

As guitar players we need to have a strong and reliable foundation that provides us with a clear, dynamic and responsive signal. Pegcity Pickups are ready for anything you throw at them. Dynamic and responsive with exceptional note clarity. Our pickups respond very well to your picking techniques and the use of volume and tone knobs. A solid foundation to begin shaping your tone. 

Every guitar player has that sound in their head they want to hear through their amp. We are happy to have the opportunity to be part of that journey!

At Pegcity Pickups we guarantee your pickups will be made by hand, with care and with the highest quality standards. Our industry leading client care will insure you are taken care of every step of the way. 

Should you have any questions, email us anytime allowing for a 24 hour window for us to respond.. 

Cheers!

Kris and Christine
