Missing Link Audio Unveils LiveWirez Single Coil Pickups

The new LiveWirezsingle coils produce that much-desired vintage fat woody tone with enough sustain that remains crisp and articulate.


Adding to the company’s line of premium-quality guitar pickup line, Missing Link Audio has introduced their new LiveWirez single coil pickups.

As the follow-up to MLA’s successful Peacock humbucking single coils, the new LiveWirezsingle coils produce that much-desired vintage fat woody tone with enough sustain that remains crisp and articulate. They produce some of the most iconic guitar sounds in music history. Because of the clarity created by the unique coil wind and magnet structure, the LiveWirezpickup design works especially well with pedals, allowing the low end to remain articulate and the highs to sing clearly with every note played.

The Bridge pickup has the power to make your amp sing & sustain while keeping control with your guitar's volume knob. You can dial in those sweet 50's and 60's vintage single coil tones with a little more output if needed, as you roll up the volume on your guitar for those who want to rock the house.

The Middle pickup gives you the ability to dial in additional tones on top of the bridge or neck position or to use by itself for a fat rhythm position to a singing solo. The Neck pickup has all the clarity that the bridge and neck positions have with a cello-like sustain and natural bell tone you would expect from a vintage single coil pickup. If you need more it is as simple as turning your volume knob up on the guitar and listen to the response.

Each LiveWirez pickup is constructed using:

  • ​Correct formulated slightly degaussed Alnico 5 magnets
  • Staggered pole pieces for balanced output
  • Vintage Push Back Wire
  • Vintage-style enamel wire
  • Reverse-wound middle pickup to eliminate hum
  • Bridge Pickup DCR 7.0 - Middle Pickup DCR 6.5 – Neck Pickup DCR 5.99
  • Southern Crafted &American Made
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty

Missing Link Audio includes with each set of pickups a NOS Paper in Oil Capacitor for free.

Missing Link Audio’s LiveWirez Set is available for a suggested retail price of $239.99

Our columnist’s bass, built by Anders Mattisson.

Would your instrumental preconceptions hold up if you don a blindfold and take them for a test drive?

I used to think that stereotypes and preconceived notions about what is right and wrong when it comes to bass were things that other people dealt with—not me. I was past all that. Unfazed by opinion, immune to classification. Or so I thought, tucked away in my jazz-hermit-like existence.

The guitar has been a major factor in so many styles of music over the last 70 years, and any experienced musician can tell you that playing any one of those styles with authenticity takes countless hours of dedication. As we learn the instrument, we seek out music that we find inspiring to help guide us toward our voice. The legends we all know in the guitar pantheon have inspired millions of players. In my musical journey over the years, I’ve always been thrilled to discover unique musicians who never attained the same recognition as their more famous counterparts. With so much music at our disposal these days, I thought this group of guitarists deserved a little more spotlight. The inspiration and knowledge they have provided me were paramount in my development, and I wouldn’t be the player I am without them.
