StewMac Humbucker Pickups

StewMac Humbucker Pickups

Inspired by the 50s but built for today's player. StewMac humbuckers feature Alnico 5 magnets just like the timeless pickups of the past but with the modern features you need.

The new standard for replacement pickups
When your stock pickups just aren't cutting it, these are the perfect upgrade. The Alnico 5 magnet produces a clear tone with more pronounced highs and a tighter low end. It's the ideal balance for beautiful clean tones and overdriven sounds that don't get muddy.

The 6 adjustable screws let you easily dial in the voice of the pickup, while the slugs give you all the punch you need. With four-conductor wiring, you get the modern features you need: coil splitting, phase switching, series/parallel switching, whatever you can dream up!

Custom-wound for neck and bridge positions. The bridge is wound hotter for a more balanced tone and output.

Color-matching Cream Parts and Bindings
There have always been slight variations in the color of the cream plastic parts used on Gibson and other guitars. It's not uncommon to see brand new and vintage guitars with bindings, pickup rings, toggle switch rings and pickguards that don't perfectly match in color. We do our best to match all our cream products, but there's no absolute control from batch to batch, or from supplier to supplier.
