Finally got these installed and what a sound. The guitar tech that did the install was quite impressed with the build quality. If you're looking for something other than the usual boring emg or seymour Duncan's I highly recommend these.

PJ Set
I've had these installed for almost a year now and couldn't be happier with my tone. My project instrument finally feels complete after this last piece of the puzzle.
I did a total conversion on my old Ibanez swapping out the active 3 band EQ and stock pickup's for this set and passive electronics. Wow! My bass has that classic fender voicing but plays like an Ibanez.
Kris was very patient and helpful with my inquiries and even with making-to-order (around Christmas even) had them ready to go very quick.
My only regret is that I didn't leave a review sooner.

Private Stock bridge
Kris and I decided on the Private Stock bridge pickup for a custom built guitar from luthier Steve J. Mash. Sort of a Melody Maker shape with a 25" scale, humbucker in bridge, tulipwood body, maple neck. The Private Stock bridge is a very versatile, dynamic pickup usable in a range of styles. Chose a black uncovered pickup, I'm most pleased with its versatility.
This is paired with a custom neck pickup, a unique design from Pegcity. To match the timbre, no hum, and power of the bridge, Kris built a stacked magnet single-coil sized design for this position. So, it's noiseless and pairs super well with bridge.
A great solution and a wide range of sounds available c/o a basic 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way switch.

Classic 59’s
Just installed a set of Classic 59’s into an Epiphone Sheraton ii. What an upgrade! These pickups look and sound incredible! When chording there is remarkable note clarity across all the strings and single notes sing and cut through the mix. They are also very pick sensitive and clean up nicely when the volume is rolled back. I’ve always liked this guitar but now I love it, it just sounds huge! Thanks Kris! Great communication, easy to order, amazing build quality and fast shipping! I feel like I will be ordering a Peg City strat set in the future!

Amazing in the neck position
I recently added a Fatboy Special neck pickup to one of my main guitars, and was blown away by its clarity and silky smooth sound. On high gain its crystal clear and articulate, on clean it has a beautiful presence and projection. Highly suggested to anyone who values a well rounded, clean neck tone!

Don't think twice, buy em!
I've been playing guitar for 30yrs. Playing heavy metal for over 20yrs and I can honestly say I have never felt such a substantial difference in a pick up swap......until I installed a set of Widows. I replaced an EMG 81/85 set with Angry Widows and was instantly blown away by how organic, articulate and more defined my tone was. So then I swapped out a Seymour Duncan Full Shred and JB set for some Angry Widows and it was the same result, my tone took a step in the direction I wanted, but the EMGs and Duncan's just continually fell short no matter what combination. The support, sales and relationship I now have with Peg City is something you just can't get with big manufacturers. Don't think twice, you might miss out on your perfect tone

Love my new Classic 59’s
The Classic 59’s were an excellent set of pickups for my Les Paul kit build. They sound great! You get all of the tones and responsiveness you would expect from PAF. Highly recommend if you are looking to get that classic PAF sound without breaking the bank. I can't wait to start my next Pegcity pickup powered project!
TC204 set on 2006 Fender Tele (USA) with Bzzzzkill
The tones that the TC204 produce are quite remarkable. The differences of tones these pickups give when playing through a clean amp brings additional midrange frequencies which give an added ‘maturity’. In other words I’m really liking what I’m hearing and am having a hard time putting my instrument down. This guitar was also used for beta testing the new Bzzzkill. A 60hz noise cancelling device for single coil pickups. (Check it out on socual media)
Thanks Kris.
This is not my first order from here, they always deliver fantastic quality pickups that sound great. This alnico 2 p90 is pure p90 tone. Gets dirty when you want it to be, and cleans up when you want it to. Very articulate as well. One of the better p90's I've tried.
Fantastic sounding pickups. I put these in an SG and it absolutely sings. Alnico 4's sound so crisp and warm and the quality of the pups seem to be nope notch. Great price for tailor-made, Canadian craftmanship. A++ !!!
When I picked out these pickups, I picked out some pickup covers that would make the guitar look cool. The radiator covers with the gold foil just made this vintage colored guitar look fantastic. I couldn't be happier!
