- If you want to breathe life into an old guitar, make repairs or build a new project these pickups are the ticket for classic modern and vintage tones. Want to capture the sound of a '57 Gold Top or '59 Burst dial in your sound and nail it. Woods play a part in the sound also and these pair well with Mahogany and dark woods as well as less dense woods and can drop it in Ash or Alder bodies.

Much of your tone lays in your hands, while no one can promise you will play like Page, Moore or King with a pickup upgrade, you will have the tools to take you there.
