Selected Guitar Pickups
Our love for tube sound is well known. But even the best tube amp only delivers truly creamy tones if the connected guitar — and its pickups — allow it. That’s why we offer a carefully curated selection of electric guitar pickups from leading premium manufacturers, tailored for tone-conscious guitarists. Whether you’re after humbuckers or single-coils, vintage tones or modern rock punch — our range of guitar pickups leaves nothing to be desired!
Top Manufacturers in Our Lineup
We’ve carefully compiled our selection of guitar pickups, with particular emphasis on outstanding craftsmanship and flawless sound. Our lineup includes models from two of the most renowned brands in the field: Mojotone and Amber Pickups.
Amber Pickups
Amber Pickups is a small German company dedicated to reviving the iconic pickup sounds of music history. Collaborating closely with physicists and engineers, the company crafts pickups that deliver exceptional dynamic response and superb articulation. Especially popular among vintage tone fans, these pickups are also used by many premium guitar makers in their instruments.
Mojotone Pickups
Hand-wound and meticulously crafted, the pickups from boutique manufacturer Mojotone in North Carolina are known for premium quality and the pursuit of recreating the legendary (tube) sounds of decades past. Mojotone’s single-coils and humbuckers are built to original specs of iconic electric guitar pickups — from ‘59 PAFs to Stratocaster-style single-coils — delivering the right tone with a high-end finish. And if you love the authentic old-school look, you’ll also find versions in various retro designs.
Single-Coil and Humbucker Highlights for Fans of Authentic Tube Sound
Whether it’s the classic chime of a Strat or the fat growl of a Les Paul, the pickup you choose naturally depends on the guitar you play. Luckily, our partners cover all standard formats!
Single-Coil Pickups
One coil, Alnico magnets, and a bright, bell-like tone rich in overtones — that’s the classic single-coil we all know and love. These pickups shine especially in Telecaster and Stratocaster-style guitars. Thanks to modern technology and refined construction, the once notorious 60-cycle hum is no longer an issue — single-coils are now fully gig-ready pickups for electric guitars.
Humbuckers
Popularized by the Gibson Les Paul, humbuckers were developed as a response to single-coils. And to this day, they deliver the punchy, growling tone we know from countless classic rock albums. With their dual-coil design, these electric guitar pickups reduce susceptibility to noise and deliver a thick, powerful sound — especially impressive in overdrive and distortion settings for their clarity and punch.
P-90 Pickups
Introduced by Gibson in 1946, the P-90 has since become a true classic among electric guitar pickups. Though often mistaken for humbuckers due to their size, they are technically single-coils. These pickups deliver a fatter, fuller tone than traditional single-coils and offer a wide range of sound options depending on their position on the guitar.
