There’s no doubt that guitar pickups make a huge difference to the sound coming from your guitar or bass. Pickups stylistically enhance the sound your amp receives and then pumps out to an audience, and is a way to sculpt your tone to suit the music you want to play.
It’s an age-old story: you find the guitar of your dreams but it’s surface deep. The body shape is perfect, you love the feel of it, and the colour is on point but the sound, not so great. Sure, strings, tone and hardware will make a difference, but pickups are key. Changing pickups changes the way the perfect-looking guitar sounds. It’s a great solution to not being able to afford the Gibson or Fender you wanted starting out. If you opted for a cheaper guitar to fit your budget, no problem. Improve the sound by investing in electric guitar pickups.
Which guitar pickups should I go for?
The pickup for you is going to depend a lot on the type of instrument you’re playing. We’ve got a wide range of electric guitar pickups, acoustic guitar pickups and bass guitar pickups. Simply filter your search results by type, brand and price to save you time.
Our range of pickups includes single coil and double coil, otherwise known as humbuckers. If you’re a surf or country guitarist, opt for single coil pickups that serve up a bright, crisp tone. Humbuckers deliver the deeper and smoother sound that jazz, hard rock and heavy metal artists are known for. It’s good news for blues artists: single coil and humbuckers can be used. You’ll find vintage-voiced, extremely versatile neck pickups from Seymour Duncan that are adaptable for different sounds and playing styles, and today’s version of DiMarzio’s first pickup that was specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive.
