SAPHUE Adjustable Metal Double Coil Electric Guitar Pickups Humbucker Punk Neck/Bridge Pickup (Black)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It is an ok pickup, I purchased this as a replacement for a set of dean humbuckers, it’s cheap, keep that in mind, better for starter guitars.

I put this in an old cheap Epiphone I was going to scrap. I couldn’t believe how nice these cheap pickups worked. I did pot them as they were noisy before potting but after they preform well.

Listen -- these may not sound great at home at lower volume; I wasn't super impressed with them when I first installed them in a guitar build for a friend of mine. They did, however, look great and match the aesthetic of the guitar, so that was a big plus. Tonally at low volume, these pickups are dull as can be with muted highs and what seemed like an absurd amount of low end.However, when my friend used the guitar at his first gig, I was floored -- these pickups are really all midrange, and his guitar tone cut through the mix in a four-piece metal band like absolutely no other!He later switched to a far, far more expensive guitar to finish the set...and it didn't sound near as good as these did. It was quite surprising.Overall, these are quite decent pickups for heavy music styles and well worth the price in terms of construction, looks, and tone.

Sounds as good as the original at 1/5 the price definitely will buy again

Sound great

Shocked at how crunchy these pickups are they sound awesome

Not particularly high output, but they do look awesome for certain builds.More of a rock, blues tone, but clipped by the ceramic magnets.

I just swapped these into a Agile Pendulum 6 string and wow, what an improvement. They have a bright, full tone and sound great from clean to full meltdown and everything in between. Changing them out took some modification but that's due to the design of the guitar itself, nothing to do with the pickups. Other than that, if you can solder, it's pretty simple to install these. They're 5-wire, so you can set them up for coil tapping if you want to. They're a standard humbucker platform and fit the rings just fine. I was a little worried about the pole pieces lining up with the strings, being mounted at an angle on a multiscale guitar that used to have blade pickups, but they do just fine picking up the signal and producing a clear sound with great tone. They had a bunch of wax on the face plates when I received them, but that's no big deal. For the price of these pickups you can't really go wrong with giving them a try.
