StewMac Lipstick Pickups – StewMac

StewMac Lipstick Pickups

Get a completely new sound without modifying your guitar! These pickups are full of unique character and chime, and fits standard Strat-style single-coil and humbucker routs, pickguards, and mounting rings.

Unique design, powerful tone
Lipstick pickups feature poly-coated coil wire wound on Alnico 5 bar magnets, encased in iconic chrome-plated metal tubes. This fully shielded design produces the clean, classic jangly sound, and full-throated overdriven tone that’s completely different from traditional pickup design. They sound amazing for slide playing too.

The Alnico 5 magnets produces a clear tone with more pronounced highs and a tighter low end. It’s the ideal combination for shimmering clean tones and bold overdriven sounds. The humbucker is high output to push your amp hard, the single-coil is lower output for ultra-clean tones. The humbucker has four-conductor wiring for spitting, phase reversal, and series and parallel options.
