Golden Age Alnico 5 Single-coil Pickups
Golden Age® single-coil pickups are individually wound for vintage tone and optimum output at the neck, middle and bridge positions. They feature Alnico 5 polepieces with 2-1/16" spread and staggered heights for balanced string response. These pickups are wax-potted for microphonic suppression, and have two vintage-style fabric-insulated hookup wires.
Sold individually or as a set of all three (neck, middle, and bridge positions).

Golden Age® pickups have vintage dimensions for easy installation in standard bodies, and original-style AWG42 coil wire for classic tone. Two covers (one black and one white) are supplied with each single-coil pickup, for easy pickguard matching. Mounting screws, springs and wiring diagrams are also included.
The middle position model is reverse wound, reverse polarity, for hum cancellation at the #2 and #4 switch positions.
Note: Golden Age single-coil pickups have a copper shield surrounding the coil for quieter 60-cycle hum suppression. The copper shield is attached to the ground output wire. If you don't wish to utilize the copper shielding, per vintage pickups, simply snip the small jumper wire that connects the copper foil to the ground lug.

I recently installed a set of your Golden Age single-coil pickups in my guitar and I'm amazed at how such inexpensive gear can sound so good. Thanks! |

I just finished installing my Golden Age Pickups. Wow! My mouth hit the floor when I heard the tone out of those pups! It's taken my nice little Epi to a whole new level! |
