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.
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!
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!
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
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!
Very happy with the 2-Stroke humbucker in the bridge of my HSS strat! First of all it looks absolutely beautiful with the raw nickel cover, and the sound is very versatile as described for really any style. After playing with my pickup heights a bit, it's well balanced with the low-medium output neck and middle pickups, and lots of room for adjustment depending on your flavour. The coil split bridge/middle position is a really solid 2nd position strat sound, and the bridge on it's own is definitely rockin', but can really pull off anything. I get a very satisfying americana/alt-country kind of sound from it, and it's just as home cranking out high gain metal riffs. Sound great through my Princeton Reverb Reissue '65 and also very impressed with the clarity and depth through my Neural DSP plugins. Very stoked to be able to support a Canadian builder - thanks and keep up the good work!
As I get older, I find myself playing with less gain so I was looking for something more traditional. I am so happy I went with the 66'ers. Quiet, dynamic, and ballsier and sparklier than the high output pickups I replaced. I will definitely be back for more.
I have to start by saying that Kris and Pegcity Pickups are one fantastic company to work with.
I have a Schecter PT Special. The bridge pickup was very anemic so I was looking for a way to want to play this guitar. I found Pegcity Pickups and landed on the EC-431. With talking with Kris, I found that he truly knows his stuff with tone. I decided to have Pegcity replace both Pickups so that they were matching and voiced properly together. Kris wound a matching P90...
This guitar, I cannot put it down now... the neck pickup(P90) has that mellow, rounded tone built for the lower register while the EC-431 has that beautiful tele twang. There is no volume drop between the two which makes switching simple...
You would think that is the end... Kris somehow worked his mojo because when I combined the two Pickups either by serial or parallel (this guitar can do that), that is where the magic happens because they blend so well... I lost track of time and I tried a couple of different amps to see any change and the Pickups just adapted and kept that MOJO going...
Kris... thank you.
You are right... I want to miss work just to keep playing...
By way of grounding my opinion I own 3 Fender Telecasters and 7 Fender Strats, some with humbuckers.
I have installed a set of these Pegcity private stock humbuckers in a 2013 Fender Strat. The guitar previously had factory Fat 50s single coils. The pickups have changed the guitar for the better! I can’t get over how great they sound in all wired configurations . I am now enjoying both full, sweet humbucking tones and great, clear split coil tones in one guitar. The Fat 50s will not be going back in.

Dealing with Kris was a pleasure. He is a true professional generously making sure I was happy with my order.
Pegcity Pickups is highly recommended... you won’t be disappointed.

100% recommend them. I got the Angry Widow bridge pickup. It sounds great and looks great as a bonus.
