Electric Guitar Pickups for Every Build, Repair, and Custom Upgrade
When you want to shape the voice of your electric guitar, the pickups you choose make all the difference. We’re builders, players, and tinkerers just like you, and we’ve spent decades testing, installing, swapping, and dialing in pickups for countless styles and rigs. Whether you’re pairing a new set with an electric guitar kit, upgrading a trusted stage guitar, or bringing a vintage favorite back to life, this collection brings together the key pickups and prewired assemblies you need to find your sound.
From classic single-coil sets and punchy humbuckers to modern active systems, each design starts with the same core ingredients: a magnetic field, vibrating strings, and carefully wound coils that turn motion into music. The details—output, frequency response, magnet type, materials, and pole alignment—are where tone and feel really come alive.
Find Your Perfect Electric Guitar Pickup Tone
Different types of pickups emphasize different qualities. Single-coil designs are known for clarity, detail, and that unmistakable chime you hear in a great Strat or Tele. Humbuckers deliver fuller power, reduced hum, and the warm punch loved in rock, blues, metal, and beyond. You’ll find high-output, passive, active, vintage-voiced, and hot-wound options—each one shaping how your amp responds and how your signal sits in the mix.
Chasing tight low end for bass lines, or something that cuts through with more output and bite? Want the articulate sparkle of a Fender-style set, or the thick midrange associated with classic Gibson tones? This collection makes it easier to zero in on the right combination for your build or upgrade.
Built for Luthiers, Modders, and Curious Creators
Every pickup and assembly here is chosen with hands-on builders in mind. You’ll find bridge and neck pickups, calibrated sets, and full prewired pickguards and control systems ready to drop in, all designed to work seamlessly with standard electric guitar and bass layouts. Whether you’re experimenting with new genres, chasing a vintage vibe, or crafting a custom shop–style look, you’ll find pickups that pair perfectly with the luthier tools, wiring diagrams, and parts StewMac is known for—so you can get the sound in your head out of your speakers.
