What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

GET THEM!!

After looking for a long time how to upgrade the sound of my 2012 Ibanez SR755 I decided to go with these and a OBP3 pre amp. I cannot even describe the amazing different this has made in my tone. It just brought the punch and clarity I been needing all these years. I can simply go wherever I want in tone with these pickups. They sound super good together or isolated.
Rated 5/5

Thick Harmonics

Replaced Stock Seymour Duncans in my Fodera. The DCB's have an amazing thick and rich harmonic structure I had been missing. Wish I had done it sooner.
Rated 5/5

Great dynamic pickup

I bought these pickups to replace original equipment in my Ibanez 305.I really liked the neck on this instrument but not so much the sound. I also bought the Aguilar preamp. I was looking to improve the sound and output so it would be closer to my main ax which is a '74 Jazz with EMGs in it.
These pickups have a great sound. Its not identical to the EMGs but feels warmer while still maintaining great output and dynamic range.
I did buy the preamp after I had used the pickups with the original preamp. They sounded great even then but lacked strength on the higher strings. The preamp just put the sound where I wanted it.
The only issue I had was technical (if you could call it that). There are 3 mounting holes in the pickups where as the OE had just 2. I hunted around on the internet and found the tiny screws to finish mounting the pickups.. SW couldn't help me with that but I consider that all minor.
Great pickups at a great price.

Great Improvement

Switched these into my Ibanez SR305 and I couldn't be happier. I had previously worked out a combo of knob twists that made for a singular decent tone from the bass, but even then it sounded highly processed and unnatural. After switching these in I'm not locked into one knob combo, can get great tone with all sorts of configurations and it all sounds much more natural. Very happy.
