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!

Dimarzio t tele

Great pickup… wanted to make one of my teles into a rocker…. This definitely did the trick!!
Rated 5/5

Bringing the metal!

Upgrading a telecaster for a friend of mine and neither he or I are into the typical telecaster sound. We wanted it to sound more heavy metal, and this pickup did the trick! Very happy with it!
Rated 5/5

Excellent pickup for classic rock and more!

I am an experienced rock player that loves telecasters but does not care for the tele bite. This pickup is great for classic rock and more. I have tried many different pickups and like this one the best. It does change the sound to sound close to a full size humbucking pickup which I did not think was possible. True country fans may not like this pickup.

Just a note: Sweetwater offers great and fast service ( Very Happy )

Rated 5/5

Perfect Upgrade!

I installed one of these in my Fender Classic 60's Tele, and it officially became my favorite guitar. I tend to lean towards posthardcore, pop punk, and other alternative styles of music when playing, and this pickup suits these genres quite well. I eliminated the hum I was experiencing with the stock pickup in my Telecaster, and also gained a far more girthy tone!
