SUPERNATURAL HANDMADE HUMBUCKER SET
HANDMADE IN OUR WORKSHOPS HERE IN MELBOURNE
THIS IS A CALIBRATED SET DESIGNED TO GET THOSE LEGENDARY PETER GREEN EARLY FLEETWOOD MAC TONES
THESE PICKUPS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED PERSONALLY BY MYSELF USING ONLY THE BEST COMPONENTS SOURCED FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND ARE CAREFULLY MADE INDIVUALLY BY US.
I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN USING THESE PUPS IN MY OWN GUITARSAND GIGGED THEM EXTENSIVELY AND AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE TONE AND PERFORMANCE FOR CLASSIC ROCK AND BLUES
MANY HAVE HEARD THESE ALREADY AND HAVE ORDERED SETS JUST FROM HEARING THEM THE FIRST TIME. THESE PICKUPS HAVE A LOVELY UPPER MID CHARACTER WHICH ARE PERFECT FOR BLUES AND ROCK SOLO AND CHORD WORK
NECK PICKUP MAY BE INSTALLED REVERSED (POLES AWAY FROM NECK) IF YOU LIKE, THE CHANGE IN TONE IS SUBTLE, BUT THERE, HOWEVER WILL WORK EQUALLY WELL IN THE TRADITIONAL ORIENTATION ALSO
SOUND:
neck pickup is warm and complex with a sweet high end, giving a throaty bluesy tone
bridge pickup is tight and punchy and works well with pedals and also straight into the amp. great for ZZtop and 70’s rock
pickups on together (in phase) make great classic tones al la BB King and freddie King.
out of phase offers a great pallet of sounds designed to capture the famous tones of of peter green in his heyday. blending the correct amount of bridge and neck gives the tones

THESE PICKUPS WERE TESTED USING AN ORIGINAL FENDER DUAL SHOWMAN REVERB (SAME AS PETER GREEN USED IN THE LATER F-MAC DAYS)
I HAVE POSTED SOUND CLIPS BELOW GIVING SOME IDEA OF THE SOUND OF THE PICKUPS USING A LES PAUL STYLE GUITAR USING FENDER DUAL SHOWMAN (THE SAME AMP PG USED)
AS YOU WILL BE AWARE, THE SOUND OF THE PICKUPS WILL VARY BETWEEN GUITARS HOWEVER THE CHARACTER OF THESE PICKUPS WILL SHINE THROUGH.
THE HYPE: MANY PEOPLE WHO MAKE PG SETS SAY THAT REVERSING THE MAGNET IS THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO GET THE GREENY TONE., THAT IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH; REVERSING THE MAGNET IS IDENTICAL TO SWAPPING THE COIL ENDS, IT MERELY CHANGES THE POLARITY OF THE PICKUP. I HAVE DESIGNED THESE TO DO THE GREENY STUFF AS WELL EVERYTHING US GIGGING GUITARISTS NEED TO DO, AND I BELEIVE THAT THESE PUPS WILL DELIVER EVERYTHING FROM GREENY, TO ZZTOP AND ACDC

Kim –
Wonderful set of pickups that faithfully capture the ‘Green’ sound of the early Fleetwood Mac era right out of the box. If you’re at all into blues and Les Pauls you’d be well served giving these a go. Fab, your attention to detail borders on OCD.
Joe from Oregon USA –
This is a dream pickup. Clean 70’s rock sound. Besides the FM I can get a lot more amazing tone variation!. It fits perfect on my standard.
Dave (verified owner) –
I put these into an SG which I was completely happy with. Now I’m happier. Great vocal quality and all-round smoothness. The neck pickup in particular is really nice. Great pickup and glad I took the plunge!
