Bought one of these as a blind choice to fill out he middle pickup selection for a high gain, low tuning HSH set, if anything to just fill the gap in a worse case scenario. What I found was a really fun, really fat sounding twangy flavour that can add some unexpected extra character in between some more “traditional” heavy metal lead tones. Also sounds great on its own in a clean scenario!
Bought a set of these to try to support a local Winnipeg company instead of spending the extra to get the colour I wanted from one of the other “big name companies” and was pleasantly surprised at the quality all around.
Packs the punch and clarity of one of the overwound ceramic types without any of the mid-high harshness. Also provides a lot more “stable” low end when dealing with high gain lower tunings.
Also being able to order exactly the colours you want without having to pay an arm and a leg is a nice added bonus!
5 stars, will gladly order another set for another guitar soon!
My Casino arrived back from my local guitar shop with the new Casino P90s installed. I was blown away by the sound. The guitar now sounds like the Beatles Casinos.
I bought a set of these to upgrade the pickups in a Squier Affinity Series, and they are an amazing upgrade! The tone of all three of these pickups are great, and have given the guitar a real boost! Also amazing packaging and service. Happy to find some Canadian made pickups.
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!
