Our SMB-1 mini humbuckers are designed to bring you back to the 60's when Gibson wanted more of a single coil sounding pickup that could still buck the old hum. With a hand guided coil and Alnico 2 magnet these will come on clean and clear with a bit more sparkle than a full size humbucker. The output is in the lower range to provide more top end clarity.

Features:

Alnico 2 magnet

Neck 6.4k

Bridge 7.4k

Wax potted for quiet operation. Calibrated to sound great together.

Great Upgrade

I decided to give this mini humbucker a try and glad I did. Sounds great in my thin line tele that I modded.

I picked up the SMB-1 a few months back for a Telecaster project, and I gotta say, I'm super stoked about it. I put the SMB-1 on the neck and paired it with a Fender American Vintage '62 Custom in the bridge, and man, it sounds like magic!

I used to mainly stick with my regular Tele's bridge pickup, but with this new setup, everything's changed. It's perfect for those clean, crisp tones, as well as when you wanna crank it up with some sweet overdrive. I seriously can't recommend this pickup enough. It's a game-changer!

A little Controversy to the Party

I had built an all maple telecaster, as tribute to Prince, & it went through a few pickup combinations. Last set was too full, & not enough spank which left me uninspired to say the least. After some talk with Kris, Opted for a Neck & Middle Texas Triple Stack pickups (since i wanted the middle position on my telecaster to be hum free), & these definitely deliver the 1999 party! Super balanced tone, chime, tight lows, smooth top end, with enough bite to boot. Clean or drive, these pickups don't disappoint. Kris is the man, & when it comes to tone chasing, you're in good hands! Many thanks, it's brought life to another of my guitars, & that's amazing!

Great sounding vintage style pickups

Installed these in my Squier CV Jag. The stock pickups were decent enough, but these Peg City pickups just add a bit more of everything to my tone and reduces the buzz. More noticeable tone cut using the strange switch. Very glad to find a Canadian builder for jag pickups. Definitely recommended!

Changed Magnets

I recently purchased a set of Classic 59 pickups with the A4 magnets which sounded really good but were not exactly the tone I was chasing. They sounded good enough that I was hesitant to change anything about them but finally decided to change the magnets to A2 and voila for my taste now they are perfect especially the bridge. Great pickups.

p90

i found the pole screw heads to large. They couldn’t be lowered flush to pickup face. Well made pickup, great sounding.

VS61 with a private stock humbucking

I upgraded a T style guitar that had a H/S/S with a VS61 neck, and middle, and a private stock humbucking in the bridge, with a 5 way switch. I have played the guitar daily for about a week, liking it more each time I pick it up. The single coils are bright, articulate, and very vintage sounding. The 2 and 4 positions have the spongey mid scoop sound. The humbucking is awesome, a little hotter, really big sounding. The combination with the single coils is really versatile, and every pickup position sounds great. Great pickups!!! You should buy some!
