Angry Widows (High output humbuckers)

I was looking for a new pickup for my project guitar, stumbled across these online and read all the reviews. Thought something locally made would be kinda' cool and unique for my project. Wired them in, plugged in the guitar, wasn't sure what to expect, and then all I can say is that I was amazed at the sound I was hearing! Turned my ok sounding guitar into a tone monster. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you!

Your pickup is amazing, I've tried alot of stuff but this one knocks them all out of the park. High output without losing clarity. Thick and chunky but also very clear, thank you so much🤘🏽

I bought the Angry Widow to change the stock EMG 81-7 in my LTD M-7 Baritone (only one pickup). I was bored by the ultra flat EQ curve of the active humbucker and was looking for something to go passive. As i already own the AW in the six string version, i was pretty sure that it will upgrade my tone (and how it feels to play the guitar) a lot. I had a professional change the pickup for me as the wiring had to be changed as well.
The tone is now super clear, especially has a bit more usable lowend, which i really enjoy playing a seven string in Drop A and way crisper highs than the EMG – which often felt a little lifeless and flat, too mid focused for my taste.

When playing a guitar with only a bridge humbucker I really need the pickup to be versatile, clear in chords but still enough punch when chugging the low strings. Enough clarity playing cleans (as a full range humbucker or split coil) but still present and rich enough to work in a heavy musical context!

Thx to Kris and Pegcity for building this outstanding passive high output pickup – cannot wait to write a lot of riffs and leads with the Angry Widow!

Finally got my set installed. Honestly, I'm loving them. I'm used to lower impedance/output pickups + fuzz tones rather than modern high gain sound, but I wanted a proper shredder. These satisfy my face melting and knifing through butter needs. Plus, they sound kinda awesome clean as well.. Not as bright as a single coil guitar, but they sound clear and nicely compressed. I'm a fan!

I put this in the bridge of an HSS strat. The pickup is VERY hot, it leads to very full saturation on high gain settings, but I'm able to dial back the gain a bit on the amp/tube screamer which makes my playing much more articulate (while still being saturated). An unexpected positive of this pickup is how nicely it splits. It works very well both in parallel and in series with the other single coils. It also sounds great split by itself both for lower and higher gain lead playing - definitely more like a tele bridge pickup than a strat (that's a win in my book!).

Customer service is excellent. Kris responded promptly to my questions and shipped it well within the lead time quoted on the website. It arrived well packaged with all information you would need along with springs and screws. I would definitely order this pickup again and based on the quality of it I would also be a repeat customer for other pickups from Pegcity as well.
