"I'm impressed with these pickups, they really make my Marshall sing " N.L, Cannock Staffs

"Very nice pair of Pickups, quick delivery" eBay user trakman54

"Budget design but great Les Paul / Gibson style sound" eBay user salamisausage

"I've just come back from a gig with the band - and I can't put into words how absolutely over-the-moon I am with the new pic-ups. I've got a PRS copy, which I've had for 6 years with a set neck and after putting your pick-ups in - its just made the biggest difference to the guitar ever! I'ts the best thing I could have done - absolutely fantastic sound, and I LOVE them to bits. Thank you!!!!Feel free to quote me on that :)
best wishes, Matt.

Classic Zebra Humbuckers - matched pair

Each pick up has six adjustable pole pieces on the black coil. The ivory coil has flat not adjustable pole pieces

Neck pick up is a healthy 10.8 k-ohms with an inductance of 6.76 Henry. string spacing on this pickup is overall width of 50mm. To save you grabbing a calculator thats' 10mm between the pole pieces.

Bridge pick up is slightly more powerful at 11 k-ohms with a very healthy inductance of 6.91 Henry. Overall string spacing is 52mm which gives 10.3mm between pole pieces.

To give you some idea of the power of the pickups a DiMarzio ( TM ) Dual sound pickup witht he coils in series, i.e at its most powerful setting, has an inductance of 6.4 Henry and an EMG-Select SEHG has an inductance of 4.2 Henry.

Warman pickups use ceramic magnets as these are even brighter than Alnico V or III, and in higher output pickups this helps counterbalance the treble lost by the higher resistance (remember higher resistance means more midrange, but less highs).

Overall weight of both pick ups is approx. 230g

The face of each pickup is covered with a clear protective film which needs to be removed prior to playing. Don't laugh, it's happened before :-)

Please note that the output wiring is only 2 core so is not suitable if you want to wire them for coil tapping without converting them to 4 wire.

Gold Plated Humbuckers - Matched Pair

Each pick up has six adjustable pole pieces, which are again gold plated. No cheap and nasty anodising on these little beauties.

Neck pick up is a nice rounded 9 k-ohms. string spacing on this pickup is overall width of 48mm. To save you grabbing a calculator thats' 9.6mm between the pole pieces.

Bridge pick up is slightly more powerful at 10 k-ohms. Overall string spacing is 51.5mm which gives 10.3mm between pole pieces.

Warman pickups use ceramic magnets as these are even brighter than Alnico V or III, and in higher output pickups and help to counterbalance the treble lost by the higher resistance (remember higher resistance means more midrange, but less highs).

To give you some idea of the tone and power of these pickups here's what one of our customers had to say about these .........

"I got 2 gold humbuckers off you recently on ebay.We talked about modding and coil tapping.I have managed to get them open and soldered tags and re-seal them with melted candlewax in a hot spoon!

They are now fitted to my Aria Pro II PE with coil taps and I have to tell you they sound fantastic. I don't have much comparison admittedly but they are streets better than the Duncan Designed which were on there before, and much better than the GFS Dream 180 and Alnico Zebras which I have tried before. To my mind the coil taps give brilliant options of clarity and listenability which humbuckers generally don't.

With or without coil taps they are full bodied, rich, balanced and harmonic.I have some Maxon U2000s on an old Greco EG800 LP and those actually are a bit more powerful but they somehow don't chime like yours."

Overall weight of both pick ups is approx. 280g

The face of each pick is covered with a clear protective film which needs to be removed prior to playing. Don't laugh, it's happened before :-)

Warman Juryman Humbucking pickup.

Available as either a bridge position or a neck position pickup, please specify which pup you are making the offer on or if in fact you require a matched pair.

Warman Juryman pick ups are a twin open coil humbucker in a matt black casing with 12 individually adustable allen bolt pole pieces so that you can fine tune the pickups for optimised output across all six strings. The pickups give a good range of sounds with plenty of punchy lows,warm mids and power.

These pickups sound as good as those that cost many times this price. Suitable for all types of music with a rocky heavier side from blues through to full on metal.

Bridge - Bridge pick up is a powerful 11.44 k-ohms with a very healthy 6.89 Henry inductance. Overall string spacing is 52mm which gives 10.3mm between the concealed pole pieces. Bridge pup has the red wire out. 70mm x 40mm these fit a standard humbucking mount ring.

OR CHOOSE

Neck - Neck pick up is a healthy 11.31 k-ohms and slightly lower inductance of 6.78 Henry. String spacing on this pickup is overall width of 50mm. To save you grabbing a calculator thats' 10mm between the pole pieces. Neck pup has the yellow wire. 70mm x 40mm overall size these fit a standard humbucking mount ring.

To give you some idea of the power of the pickups a DiMarzio ( TM ) Dual sound pickup with the coils in series, i.e at its most powerful setting, has an inductance of 6.4 Henry and an EMG-Select SEHG has an inductance of 4.2 Henry.

Warman pickups use ceramic magnets as these are even brighter than Alnico V or III, and in higher output pickups to help counterbalance the treble lost by the higher resistance (remember higher resistance means more midrange, but less highs).

Weight of the each is approx. 150g

Please note that the output wiring is only 2 core so is not suitable if you want to wire them for coil tapping. If you want to get busy with a soldering iron it is easily possible to convert these to a 5/4 wire output, just ask for instructions.

Warman FireBucker Mini Humbucker

Supplied with mounting springs and screws. Suitable for either neck, mid and bridge dependant on your set up

Warman FireBuckers are a twin coil mini humbucker in a chrome poleless metal casing. Concealed beneath the case are two coils wrapped around carbon steel blades with a powerful ceramic magnet. The blades allow the pickup to be used with string spans of up to 54mm. Fully wax potted and with the casing grounded to the base plate to eliminate hum and unwanted microphonics.

DC resistance is 8.02 k-ohm , however more importantly the inductance is 3.88 Henry so is roughly equivalent to the power of Gibson 490 (3.8H) or DiMarzio HS-3 (3.6H). Its a perfect pickup for blues and vintage rock sounds.

These pickups sound as good as those that cost many times this price. Suitable for all types of music with a rocky heavier side from blues through to full on metal.
