I put them in a single humbucker guitar and noticed they are very clear and can produce a wide range in tone and sound from country to metal and everything in between...they sounded great through it all.

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!
Just installed vs-61 pickups in a new American pro2 Strat. Just got back from a rehearsal and I’m truly blown away by these pick ups. very quiet for single coils. They make the guitar come alive and I hate to compare, but they do everything better than the original pick ups. Beautiful round bell like tone for aclean sounds, and a nice smooth compressed sound for leads that has a nice bite but is never brittle. Good quick service and and just fabulous sounding pickups. I’m sold! Tone for days!
I bought the EC-431 with the 2-stroke for the neck humbucker and it is such an incredible combo.
The EC-431 has a lot of punch, but still retains the twang of a tele and the 2-stroke really balances it out.
Could not have asked for better pickups.
Kris was really helpful in my quest for tone. He took the time to answer all my questions and make that I got a set that was perfect for my taste.
I wanted to change pickups in my 1982 Tokai SS48 and also wanted to buy from a Canadian seller. These are truly the best vintage style pickups I’ve ever tried for a S-type style of guitar. Highly recommended
