9 best tube pickup for electric guitars
Magnetic pickups are the most common type of pickups used in electric guitars. They consist of a coil of wire wrapped around a magnet and are responsible for converting the vibrations of the guitar strings into electrical signals, which are then sent to an amplifier. Magnetic pickups are known for their ability to capture the distinctive tonal characteristics of different types of electric guitars.
Piezoelectric pickups, on the other hand, are used primarily in acoustic-electric guitars.These pickups rely on piezoelectric crystals or sensors to capture the vibrations of the guitar's soundboard and convert them into electrical signals.

User questions & answers
Question: | Are these two identical pickups or is one reverse wound;reverse polarity |
Answer: | These are two identical pickups. |
Question: | Which wire goes to the switch, red or white. Does the other get wired with the ground (unwrapped) wire? Thanks for the help |
Answer: | I have found you CAN NOT trust color coding on Guitar parts. I just wired up two with parts bought here on Amazon and the normal association of red is positive and black is ground will get you in trouble. I also bought a loaded pre wired Strat Pick guard and it had red on every ground and white for positive. They did a good job wiring but the color selection must be base on use what you have. |
Question: | I have a sawtooth tele st-et series, will these fit and will it be a signifigant upgrade?, existing pickups are a bit "quiet |
Answer: | These are the same size of pickups that Danelectro puts into their guitars. I put these into a strat body and had to widen the holes in my pick guard a lot for them to fit. BTW these pickups are not very loud and don't as good as hoped they would. |
Question: | Will they fit a telecaster |
Answer: | Hope this isn't too late to help- these WON'T fit a Tele; they're too long and the bridge pickup mount is metal, no way to mod. The neck pickup mount will require body AND pickguard routing for a fit. Fender-sized lipstick p/u's are made by various manufacturers and will probably drop into your Tele's bridge position with a little help. |
