The pickup your Special needs

If you're after the man's tone you need this. The MIM Wolfgangs come with a spec pickup that's noisy, flubby, and way too loose. Installed this and it's like night and day. Nice upper mids and very balanced. 100% worth it. The photo is the spec pickup you don't want for reference. The American pickup is absolutely phenomenal.
Rated 5/5

Sound Sample of the Wolfgang pickup into a Plexi

The video below is a tune that gives you a good idea how it sounds through a cranked Plexi type amp. No pedals, just straight in.
The Alnico II pickup has enough drive and bite, but not harsh at all!!
Buy this pickup and add it to your arsenal. It has it's place!!
Music background: Hard rock, progressive, fusion, jazz, classical
Rated 5/5

Superior Pickup for a Plexi Amp

I bought this a few years ago, and glad I hung on to it. Having finally gotten an old Marshall plexi type amp, I realized over many demos, that Alnico II magnets sound best through it when cranked up.
So... I dug this out of the bin of pickups, popped her in and BLAM!!! One of the best sounds yet!
Great bite, great overtones, great output, great definition that sustains out into a solid sweet roar..
I alternate pick quite a bit, and this delivers. Legato? No Problem.
The Alnico II magnets and the wind are a masterstroke for this type of sound. Yep, still sound like me.
Through a pushed tube amp, this pickup cuts through with smooth vintage like vibe.
Less harsh than Alnico 5 and definitely ceramic.
Rated 5/5

It’s incredible

Tone like NO other pickup. Everything and more than I expected.
Music background: Anything that grooves.
