Pegcity Pickups’ powerhouse blues set!

The Mississippi Blue Tele replacement set is a modern style set with a vintage blues/rock voicing. Designed to deliver smooth, harmonic blues and rock tones. This set responds really well to different play styles, with dynamic and clear tone you will have no problem sitting in the pocket with great rythme and or separate of the band while you sink into some sweet riffing and solos. But these are no one trick pony, Jazz, pop, punk etc. The Mississippi blue will do it all and do it really well.

The neck position options are a modern voiced humbucker with Alnico 3 magnets and 4c wiring for coil splitting to get that sweet single coil sound. Or you can choose a more traditionally voiced single coil also powered by the Alnico 3 magnets and vintage voiced coil.

Features:

Neck: Humbucker is 8.2k Alnico 3 magnet, 42 awg Polyurethane coated wire.
Single coil option: 7.7k Alnico 3 magnet, 42 awg

Bridge: 9.0-9.2k, Flush pole Alnico 3, 42 awg Heavy Formvar coated wire

4c wiring on humbucker for split coil option available

Wax potted for squeal free operation.

thinline dream pickups

Both the bridge and neck pickups are articulate and well defined. Great for their namesake Mississippi, slow blues and jazz.
Pushed with some overdrive or a tube screamer puts you into the rock realm with ease. Coil splitting ( with a 5K resistor )works well and will get you that tele twang when needed although don't expect a true single coil sound, no split humbucker will give you that.
All that and the fact that they look great !!

Great custom pickups

I was in the process of building my version of a Tele with a Trem King tremolo and wanted a pickup combination that would suit this guitar. Talked to Kris and he came up with a variation of the Mississippi Blues set to suit my needs. The single coil bridge pickup still maintains the twang that it is known for and the neck hotter neck humbucker still sounds really clear and clean, when split it has a pretty good single coil sound. It made for a very versatile guitar with several great tones. Keep up the great work Kris.

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!
