The classic/hard rock LP tone.

Wow, this is my 4th pickup (1st set) offering from Kris at Pegcity Pickups, & golly they deliver in spades. I needed something for my battered/resurrected 79 gibson LP, & after 4 other sets prior over the past 6 years of owning it, these 2 strokes swung a home run.

The last set i had in the guitar were great for what they are & can deliver, however this 79 feels a little stubborn in its right when it comes to what it needs to properly sing. My set has the neck pickup wound slightly under 8k & the bridge is a hotter 9k, but don't let that difference push you off from trying a set of 2 strokes - they are super well balanced. The neck is very clear, full but not muddy/muffled, & the bridge has the bite you'd expect for those classic Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy tones (amongst other famous acts, too many to name), yet have some girth around its tone to not be shrill/piercing. They both sit just right, & blend nice together - my 79 has a push pull on the neck volume & its down position is wired out of phase when both pickups are active. I love that cocked-wah kinda of tone i get from it (running through phase 100, tremolo, chorus, & various dirt pedals if not from my amp itself), & the pickups sing!

One error on my part prior to ordering, is i should've gone with the standard Gibson spacing for the bridge pickup - but it don't bother me none, it's all visual for the most part. (most other pickup brands with an F space bridge pickup sat right under the strings). Regardless of my own fluke, these pickups are far from being one themselves. They clean up nicely too (depending on the level of gain you got running). But my 79 is pretty much in the realm of hard rock 70's-early 80's. I've got other guitars for the heavier music. Aside from a fret swap i'll need to perform on my LP (from jumbos to smaller width & taller height frets), this guitar has never felt, & sounded better. It's strung with 11-52, I what a glorious thing.

Thanks a bunch Kris & Pegcity Pickups, couldn't've asked for a better early Xmas gift to myself & my 79!

The perfect pickup

Could not be happier with this 2 Stroke bridge pickup I just installed.
Extremely balanced, articulate, wildly versatile.
Soaks up gain and never gets muddy, and cleans up wonderfully.
Another excellent product from Kris and Peg City.

Excellent Pickups

Great balance as a set, Neck gets that thick single note sound just right, and the bridge gives a great bite. Low enough output to not cause digital pedals any problems, and nice articulation even under higher gain. Great clean up with the volume pot as well.

Une réussite totale

J'ai commandé un set de 2-Stroke pour faire un essai. Je joue principalement du rock et hard rock et sincèrement, c'est une réussite. Ma guitare est une construction artisanale en érable et noyer noir style Telecaster. Les pickups ont une sonorité très riche, une clarté dans les hautes et les basses. Très content, merci PegCity Pickups

Excellent pick ups !

Since i played guitar I've tried lots of pickups and the 2 stroke are among the best pickups i ever play.

You can clearly hear every notes when you do a solo and the neck pickup has a good balance of mid/bass/highs.

Also the pickups sounds good clean or with lots of distortion so you can use them on 80s metal and blues rock, on country rock they also sounds good.

And Kris always reply quickly to the site chat, excellent customer service !

I highly suggest this pickup !
