Instructions
The coils are wound on black or black/cream (zebra) bobbins, fabric-taped, mounted on a brass baseplate, and wax-potted for microphonic suppression.

The output wire is 4-conductor plus ground, enabling versatile custom coil-tapping, series/parallel, and phase switching options. 12K ohms. Bridge model polepieces have 2.015" spread; neck models have 1.97" spread. Mounting screws, springs and wiring diagrams included.

Inspired by great guitar pickups of the 50s!

• Alnico 5 magnets (aluminum/nickel/cobalt) as used in the originals, for warm classic tone.
• Vintage dimensions for easy installation in standard pickguards and bodies.
• Wax-potted for microphonic suppression.
• Wiring diagrams included with each pickup.

Length: 2.75" (69.85mm)
Width: 1.5" (38.10mm)
Height including mounting tabs, bridge pickup: .840" (21.34mm)

These Golden Age overwounds actually sound far better than the authentic Gibson PAFs on my SG. They have all the warmth, more output, and much more clarity. I'm hooked!

I recently purchased a pair of Golden Age overwound humbucker pickups. These have changed a so-so sounding guitar into an instrument that I will never part with. You guys really know what you're doing over there. Thanks again.

3 sets, not out!

Just ordered my fourth set of Golden Age overwound humbuckers, the previous 3 being installed in a Flying V, my chrome top Les Paul and an Epiphone Firebird studio. The power, tone,sustain and harmonics from these pickups is amazing and so musical! 3 guitars, all sound and feel different but all a joy to play, it just doesn't get any better, great stuff Guys!

Great Pick up

I had these put into a Epiphone Les Paul 100. It made a cheap Les Paul sound like a real Les Paul.

Best bridge pickup I have ever used.

Great tone, even harmonics, and just the right amount of growl. I put this pickup (Zebra version) in along with a black regular Golden Age and almost 2 years later I am still amazed. This pickup finally achieved the sound I had heard in my head for this Les Paul. The only change I would make to it would be to have the vintage braided ground/single conductor wire.
