Electric Guitar Pickups Zebra Faced Humbucker Double Coil Pickup 1 Set

Being a Stratocaster guy up until now, i had never really entertained the thought of a Les Paul Style guitar, unless i could get on in the cheap. I recently found a Tradition Les Paul copy with missing pickups for $50 at a local resale store in town and grabbed it. the guitar is in great shape, and usable, except for the missing pickups.After looking at reviews and watching videos i figured for $13.45 +tax , why not try them?The pickups arrives on a Sunday (Thanks Prime!). and were installed the next day with no problems.Neck pickup showed 7.69K on the meter and the bridge checked in at a hefty 14.68K..... Pretty hot by pickup standards. I wired them to the 50's spec wring with 22mfd caps on both pickups.First impression was WOW....i was amazed how they sounded for the price. Neck pickup is warm and full sounding.Great bluesy sound with no muddy lows. Bridge pickup is bright and crisp. Use some over drive to get that great classic rock sound (Think the intro of RUSH, "Working Man") I am pleased with how they brought this guitar back to life. Definitely a keeper now. I am seriously thinking of getting another set, to set up on a pick guard for a SQUIRE Affinity that i have.By these now.... Hell buy 2 sets for this price. You can't go wrong.

These pickups are excellent. I've owned and have tried many brands , SD, Demarzio, Kinman , cheap pickups etc. and these pickups are comparable in tone to the best of the best. I got two , one with red wire and the other had a blue wire without any writing on the pickups to indicate Bridge or neck, but fortunately without even using a multimeter I was able to identify the pickups by checking the wire's length. The blue was shorter so it had to be the bridge and once installed It was confirmed based on the sound levels.These were replacing some PAF style pickups that weren't properly wax potted, maybe intentionally. No squealing from these pups, only smooth musical tones. They were very well balanced, and neither extremely bright or dark. Forget about the price of less than 15 for two. I'm reviewing these based on quality and sound and they are the perfect pickups for me. I put them on a Mahogany strat type guitar and I can't be happier. I love how they're not harsh and how musical they are even though I think they're hot. Don't judge by the mutlimeter, because these pickups have can push an amp nicely. To get the sweet spot I adjusted the pickup heights to a little over 1/8 of an inch and that brought up so much clarity and eliminated any muddiness yet there's still enough juice to get the amp cooking.Based on the type of music I play these pickups have a lot of articulation that might be lost if you hit the string aggressively but they have a lot of dynamic and will respond much better to a varying degree of how you strum the string. I think you might be able to pull any kind of music styles including metal once you get the feel to how they respond. If I had paid a hundred dollars each, I still would have been happy with the sound, so for packaging, there' really no point in addressing as for eleven dollars set shipped including screws and springs, if the pickups make a sound and they're not DOA, then you just landed an incredibly musical pickups that has it all.The only problem I ran into was that the height screws were too high for my guitar. I din't want to drill holes but instead I used some good pliers and cut the screws short. I could have used a hack saw but figured if my I can pull it off with pliers it would be quicker. The screws where hard, but with the right pair of pliers, with some struggle , I was able to quickly pull it off. I'm extremely thrilled with these pickups and prefer them to DImarzio Distortions and Seymour's JB that I've owned and played for a long time. I honestly like the way sound , feel and respond as they have their own unique flavor. Get them and make sure NOT to adjust the pickup heights too close; 1/8 of an inch or higher and you will be in tone heaven.

I am working on an old Series 10 Les Paul style guitar (from the late 80's I believe) for a friend. The pickups that were in it sounded like muddy garbage. The guitar is black with a cream colored trim so I thought the zebra cream/black humbuckers would look nice and compliment the look of the guitar. And they absolutely do! The only problem is that the pickups look a lot nicer and brighter, but I can't complain that the product looks too good!I started with replacing all the wiring/knobs/switch, then put these pickups in and wired it all up. I was very impressed with the sound of these. VERY hot, which is awesome and easy to tame if needed. They sound really great and full clean, and big and loud distorted. And completely quiet when not playing. No hum, no noise.I've been ordering a few different really inexpensive guitar parts lately, which is hit or miss, but these were a hit for sure. A big plus that they actually came with all the mounting screws, in addition to the pickup adjustment screws and springs. They were also packed well and neither the pickups nor mounts had any scratches or blemishes. I ordered a different set of cheap pickups recently that arrived massively scratched and dented (and no mounting screws) so was very pleased these ones were in such good shape.A tiny complaint is that it wasn't specified that the mounting brackets would be flat bottomed, which isn't correct for most LP style bodies, which are usually slightly angled. But I was able to install them anyway, as the plastic bent into place and seems to be working just fine, so no big deal. Worse comes to worse, I'll just put the old brackets back on there.Great pickups! Look great, sounds great, arrived quickly and in great shape. A+

il pickup al ponte non va. spiego meglio: lavora come un single coil perchè la parte nera del pickuo non funziona. risultato,quasi non si sente rispetto al pickup neck. assolutamente un peccato perchè quello al manico è di tutto rispetto. Mi spiace molto......

Suenan super bien, tienen una salida pura y potente característica de la hambucker

neck 9.95 kohmbridge 9.45 kohmthese are actualy belcathumbuckers are supposed to be higher resistance in the bridge.will be ok for a budget project.

No se que pensaba por 17 euros, pero ha sido tirar el dinero.

Beautiful pickups.
