StewMac 70s Distortion Humbucker Pickups
Our take on one of the original hot-rod pickups! Get the raw power, high output, and screaming tone that powered 70s rock and metal. All the gain you need—straight from your pickup.
Drive your amp hard!In the 1970s rock got heavy, distorted, and loud! The pickups of the 1950s just could not keep up with what players were looking for—that's where this pickup changed the game. Powered by a ceramic magnet and overwound coils, it became the go-to mod for the next generation of rock guitarists.
The 12 hex socket pole pieces are adjustable, giving you extreme control over the voice of the pickup. The ceramic magnet has a powerful tone with a crisp edge that won't get lost when you turn up the gain. With the versatile 4-conductor wiring you can get split and out of phase tones as well.
Originally designed for the bridge position, you can also use it in the neck if you're using a high-headroom amp.
