The Pegcity Private Stock humbuckers are a personal favourite. Not built to traditional humbucker standards. We step outside of the box and explore a tone with more bodied lows, warm yet full mids and glassy clean highs. These are a traditionally lower output with Alnico 4 magnets. The neck retains a fat and warm tone without becoming muddy or too thick. The bridge has smooth singing highs with an ability to push your amp into breakup yet remain clean and responsive to dynamic play styles. Calibrated to blend amazingly with each other.

Features:

42awg Heavy Formvar wire

Output: Neck 7.2k, Bridge 8.6k

Magnet: Alnico 4

Spacing: Neck 50mm, Bridge 52mm

4c wiring for coil splitting

Wax potted for squeal free operation, Screws and springs supplied with pickups.

Wonderful! The Private Stock pickup turned a good guitar into a great guitar. So much more sing and clarity. Looking forward to road-testing. Thanks Kris!

Private Stock Humbuckers

I asked Kris what bridge humbucker he would recommend to pair with his humbucker sized P90 in the neck, and he recommended the Private Stocks. I had them installed in a Squier Affinity Jazzmaster and they turned a $200 guitar into feeling and sounding like a USA Fender! The bridge pickup has a real vocal quality and the glassy clean highs that I’ve been searching for. The middle position with the P90 sounds amazing on cleans, and sounds even better for mid-gain tones. Absolutely breathed new life into what once was a pretty unassuming guitar.

Working with Kris was amazing. He answered all my questions with expertise and helped guide me to find the exact set of pickups that matched the tone I hear in my head. These were my first pickups from Pegcity and they definitely won’t be my last!

good as Gibson Burstbuckers

I compared them with a Gibson double cut, a Fender Strat with Dimarzio pickups,
a Ibanez and a L/P copy I built with Stew mac over wound humbuckers. I have the Pegcity Pickups in a Wolfgang copy I just finished. I am a bass player, so I like a deeper darker tone. As a bass player I opted for a blend pot rather than a three way switch, I found that made it harder to compare. Overall I have to say I like them.

Just what i was looking for in a pick up. Great quality and great service.

Private Stock humbuckers

By way of grounding my opinion I own 3 Fender Telecasters and 7 Fender Strats, some with humbuckers.
I have installed a set of these Pegcity private stock humbuckers in a 2013 Fender Strat. The guitar previously had factory Fat 50s single coils. The pickups have changed the guitar for the better! I can’t get over how great they sound in all wired configurations . I am now enjoying both full, sweet humbucking tones and great, clear split coil tones in one guitar. The Fat 50s will not be going back in.

Dealing with Kris was a pleasure. He is a true professional generously making sure I was happy with my order.

Pegcity Pickups is highly recommended... you won’t be disappointed.

Great Customer Service and fantastic Pickup

I've been swapping around pickups lately and trying some custom winding companies. I have an SG that's been through a lot of pickups now. Previously. my favourites were Gibson 57 Classics because I like the character of Alnico II and medium-low output. (had also just pulled out some Fishman Fluence Scott Lepage Pickups). I realized I needed to try some unpotted pickups because I was really missing that more open and harmonicaly rich top end. I had just bought some Sigil 59 Holy Grails. They were exactly what I was dreaming of. I liked them so much, I had to steal the neck pickup to put in my Tele. I thought I would try another reputable Canadian winder to replace the neck pickup to go with the 58 in the bridge. I saw the PegCity Pickups Sale and found the True North to be the PAF that fit the bill of Alnico2 and no potting. I was a little worried that the 7.7K output may be a bit more winds than I would want to match my 7.7K bridge pickup.
Thankfully, the True North came with and detailed info card. There was a some sort of mixup because the pickup came wax-potted and stated it measured 8.7K (but this was accurately documented on its info card). I contacted Kris and he immediately acknowledged that someone had made a mistake. He made another pickup with the correct specs and sent it out to me the very next day. Amazingly, it still arrived before Christmas! Absolutely awesome customer service. He was so quick to make things right and make sure I got exactly what I had ordered.
It honestly matches so well with my other custom pickup and sounds so harmonically rich, detailed, open and dynamic. Great chime and cleans up so well with 50s wiring.
It's a beautiful pickup. I think there deserves to be a low-wind version set as well... Like Lollar does for his Imperials. (maybe somewhere around 6.9-7.3K)
But yeah, I've been through alot of humbuckers (probably way too many), and this is the best this guitar has ever sounded. I can't wait to try it with my other amps that aren't at home right now...

Amazing tone......perfect upgrade

Guitar sounds awesome now.

Surprised and very pleased

I actually expected to get staggered poles on this middle strat pickup, but was delighted to discover that the flush poles that I ended up with have a better balance and volume than my bridge and neck pickups. Also, to my ears the wax potting adds thickness to the sound that my other pickups lack. They are SD vintage strat pups.
So bottom line the Pegcity pup sounds thicker and has such great tone that I have ordered the bridge and neck pups to complete the set. Very solid construction and great sound!

Great quality

Nice raw nickel cover, whats not to like!?
