Gunstreet Eras 50s Humbucker Pickup

Sale price$169.95

At Gunstreet we’re dedicated to crafting circuits that unlock the best your guitar has to offer. Every component is essential - but it’s your pickups that give your circuit its voice. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our brand new Eras Pickups. 

Made with the same dedication to tonal artisanship as all Gunstreet offerings, Eras Pickups bring your circuit to life with the sounds that shaped guitar history.

50s

While it’s considered the Golden Age of the humbucker, the sound of the ‘50s is actually quite elusive. The iconic “PAFs” of this era were not wound in accordance with standardized manufacturing practices, leading to wide tolerances and a huge range of tonal variation from pickup to pickup.

To replicate the finest tones across this spectrum, the Gunstreet ‘50s Era Humbucker Set pairs an open and dynamic ‘59 style bridge with a sweet, balanced Mid-‘50s neck, giving you a vast palette of Golden Age tones in a modern, calibrated package.
