Lace Alumitone Deathbucker Pickup Black

This is an interesting pickup. It's pretty clear tonally-speaking. I use it with 500k pots (against the manufacturer's recommendation), and a .100 mf cap. It's a bit too trebly for my taste with the tone full up, but at about halfway down, the tone gets meaty like a traditional humbucker. With the tone rolled all the way down, the sound is very warm and round, like a jazz-style pickup. Output is relatively high. Some have compared the quality of the distorted sound produced by this pickup to active pickups, but it's more dynamic than that. The tone control makes a huge difference with this pickup. The appearance of these pickups is outstanding! I have the gold variant, and it's beautiful. It really glitzes up the look of a guitar. I plan to buy these again.

It's my favorite pickup, everything I like

The old pups on my Gibson branded SG Jr. were sounding flat and I wanted something that wasn't an active pup and decided to give one of these a try. All I can say is WOW. Why didn't I put one of these on sooner ! The website made wiring simple since I didn't split it but the tone of the guitar is now incredible. I don't have to do a lot of tweaking with my processor to make it growl with intensity to play rhythm or scream intensly for the occasional lead on it. I would recommend this pup for a guitar that has a bridge only configuration if you are looking for a good overall use.

The Alumitone series has always had my curiosity. I play mainly metal, and i wanted something that would give my guitar a really sick tone and be all there. I knew i wanted a Dimebucker in the neck position.(kinda an experiment really) So i bought the Deathbucker for the bridge and i couldnt be happier. The guitar is an Epiphone goth v with a floyd rose. I really wanted to see how this pickup worked with a trem, and to be honest we all know how well a dimebucker goes with one. All and all my experiment was a success and this guitar is rocking now. Sweet crisp highs, and the lows are nice and chunky but not dirty at all. It doesnt matter too much what you do with this pickup it will meet your needs. work the cash!!!!!!

I researched this pickup, extensively. I decided to throw one into my Squier fat stratocaster. The sound quality is nothing short of amazing! It rivals and surpasses ANY active pickup for gain, punch, articulation and clarity (within a chord.)I wired it with a push/pull pot for splitting to single coil. It gives me a nice, vintage strat sound with absolute silence! No 60Hz hum at all! I would recommend this pickup to anyone who plays, blues, rock, metal. You will be satisfied, to say the least! \m/

I have tried nearly every off the shelf pickup for metal in the last 10 years. This is my new favorite. I slapped this pup in my Jackson Ps3-t (Basically an RR3 made in 93) and it brings a wall of sound incomparable to anything I've ever heard. To my ears its as if you took the mid range crunch of EMGs, the screaming squeals and harmonics of the Dimebucker, and the sustain of a Dimarzio!! Not to mention these are super quiet and are the most feedback resistant pickups I've played. Chord definition is amazing too. No joke, these will be the only pickups I will buy from now on!
