Golden Age Lipstick Pickups
Get that clean, chiming Lipstick tone first heard in the '50s.
Golden Age single-coil and overwound humbucker models fit Strat® pickguards and standard humbucker mounting rings.
Vintage vibe, great price!
Golden Age Lipstick pickups feature waxed poly-coated coil wire wound on Alnico 5 bar magnets, encased in iconic chrome-plated metal tubes. This fully shielded design produces the clean, classic jangly sound, while sized for easy installation in modern guitars. A favorite for slide playing, too. We also added a 4-conductor shielded hookup wire to our blistering hot humbucker, for an expanded tone palette.
Screws, springs and wiring diagrams are included. These pickups work with any string spacing up to 2-3/16".
