Please contact us first if you need your pickup covered (+$10 for Nickel or +$20 for Gold).

An update... Dom Polito, one of the main guitarists of classicalbumslive.com, who purchased this set for his Gibson 1959 Reissue (R9) Les Paul, agreed with me on what I said in the description "It feels like my Les Paul should have sounded this way but I didn't know before". It simply tells all about this pickup set. Guess I don't have to mention that he said this set was the best among 50 pickup brands/models he had ever tried :)

FMZ (Fantastic Mr. Z) is based on the legendary "Dry Z" pickup made by Greco in 1980-1981 for their high-end Les Paul models. It comes with an AlNiCo 3 (simply, A3) magnet. A3 is known to generate the least magnetic strength among all AlNiCo family, resulting in super "flat" response to the all frequency range. The tone is true to the guitar wood character. It shines with light to mid overdrive. The sound out of it is... It feels like my Les Paul should have sounded this way but I didn't know before... It sounds weird but that's the best description I can make. If you like vintage sound and are not happy with your current pickups, this would be a great tryout.

SE and SET modes are surprisingly clean for the moderate character of A3 magnet. Check out the sound clips and demo YouTube video below!
