From 1950s "Grail" humbucker clones to the legendary Klon circuit you can build yourself, we’ve rounded up the best new DIY kits and pickups to level up your rig. Ready to get your hands dirty?
OTB Ultimates
Carondelet OTB Ultimates sound and feel like the best examples of late-1950s Gibson PAF humbuckers, but calibrated for their positions (8.2K Alnico 5 bridge, 7.0K A5 neck). OTB Ultimates come as a "standard" duet with modern logoed covers; or as a "grail" set with 3D-scan created 1959 repro covers.
Lee Sklar Original Logo P
The classic 70's EMG P pickup that recaptures the sound and look made popular by Lee Sklar with his legendary Frankenstein Bass. Featuring the original raised logo cap design and a tweaked preamp for a potent low end and powerful output.
Fluence Acoustic
Fishman’s new Fluence Acoustic pickups deliver groundbreaking tonal capabilities for acoustic guitars. Available in 3 models – Rock Icon, Spotlight, and Nashville Legend – each with two unique voices. Fluence Acoustic pickups offer tone, clarity, zero hum, and versatility unmatched by any other single pickup.
