Pegcity 66'ers humbucker are truly traditional voiced mid 60's rock monsters. In those days the humbuckers were taking the music world by storm and as a result the pickups were being built with better quality and consistency. That vintage vibe and tone is what we have been able to bring back to life. With the use period correct materials (Vintage build only) such as Butyrate bobbins, long leg nickel silver baseplate, plain enamel wire etc.. We calibrate the 2 to balance them beautifully when used together. Portal back to the foundation that helped shape Rock and Roll with a set of Vintage or modern 66'ers humbuckers!

Absolutely LOVE these pickups

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.

The 66er bridge pickup sounds awesome. Right amount of punch and clarity. Build quality and aesthetics of the pickup are top tier. Owner is really accommodating and answered all my questions

Pegcity 66’ers fit the bill

I have a guitar I loved the neck and feel of the guitar, but was thinking about selling it as the pickups that came with it were, well, let’s just say lacking in tone, output and response to picking. Pretty much sucked!

I put the 66’s in and transformed the guitar into a beast! I am talking about getting exactly what I was looking for and more. When clean —nice rich clear on the neck and in the bridge, chimey and clean. Great for blues even jazz.

Now add some overdrive and you have great classic rock tone with individual string clarity still there and evident without muddiness. Through a VOX AC30, the bridge gives some nice chimey chords. Also, roll back the volume and they respond gradually and you can clean up things easily. You can also hear the articulation of picking technique and reaction to soft versus harder attack—even when playing clean.

Now, I didn’t expect this, but throw in some high gain from a Revv red channel or Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and smooth distortion with the ability to still hear single note picking amongst a chord and ability to roll back the volume to clean it up a bit.

The sustain on single note solos from clean to heavy distortion is also great!

All in all these pickups are excellent and surpassed my hopes for rescuing this guitar from the local buy and sell listings.

Thanks again and I will definitely use your pickups in the future and recommend them to my fellow guitar players.
