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!
I am totally blown away by the versatility of this pickup. I bought it to replace a very high output ceramic pickup in my Kiesel guitar, which was good but much too low-end focused. The Angry Widow has a much better range, especially in the mid and mid high ranges. It is perfect for the heavy distorted sounds I like, you can hear every string clearly. It also sounds fantastic in lower gain and clean settings. The split coil sound is nice for cleaner strat like tones. The ability to customize for free and have it hand built in a week is also a big plus.
I think we are blessed to have such a talented craftsman in our area. A comparable Dimarzio pickup I was looking to buy was double the price after exchange and customization.
Keep up the good work!
I make guitars and I was looking for something special for a Les Paul Junior I was making, since it was only going to have one pickup I decided I wanted it to be something special. This pickup did not disappoint, light and chimey when you need it, roll the volume up and it just roars! 10/10 would recommend!
I wanted to make my Epiphone IG ES335 a little more unique. I was looking at Low Wind Lollar Imperials and Seymour Duncan Seth Lover's, but they are just too pricey. I gave Pegcity my specs and they custom wound some Low Wind True North PAFs! They are AMAZING.
I need a little more time to explore them but the definition, warmth and smoothness is unbelievable. The neck is warm without being muddy; the bridge is crunchy, airy and articulate without any nasty ice-picky trebly extremes. They blend so beautifully and there are so many tones in the interplay between volume and tone pots.
In short, these pickups were a serious step-up from the stock PUPs. I'm really happy to own a set of Pegcity True Norths. I'm happy to support a Canadian business. My 335 is completely unique -- there might be others like it, but this one is mine.
I'm gonna go find a Gold Top LP and ask Peg to wind me some P90s.
Well,
These pickups sounds great I’m so happy that I discovered your company.
Thanks
I recently installed a set into my ES-339. The buckers that it had were ok, but were lacking something. I've been looking at options for a while before deciding to check these out. After consulting with Kris on the tones I was chasing, he suggested alnico 3 set. He nailed it! After playing with them for a few days, I can honestly say that there are no bad tones to be had with these. Clear and responsive, angry and gritty, this set does it all! They transformed my 339 into what I always imagined it would be. Thanks Kris!
