Description
A pair of brand new high quality Warman MirrorMan Classic tone poleless humbucker pickups with screws and springs.
The mount rings are not included. Please look through our listings for our black plastic mounting rings, chrome metal mounting rings & mounting ring screws that will complete the look of your new pickup.
Twin coil humbuckers wired into a 4 wire output to enable various hot rod wiring to be done to add even more to the versatile tone. You can hear them played live on Youtube if you search
Each pickup is housed within a mirror finish chrome poleless cover for a sleek and minimalist look. Each coil is scatter wound and then wax dipped. Output varies a little from pickup to pickup due to the winding method but on average. The bridge humbucker pickup is 14.13k and 7,45 Henries inductance and the neck humbucker is 7.27k with 3.97 Henries inductance.
Wire colour codes as follows
Bare wire, overll chassic earth
Black – negative / start of coil 1
White – positive / finish of coil 1
Red – negative / start of coil 2
Green – positive / finish of coil 2
The pickups come ready wired with both coils running in series. A rough guide to how they connect into your guitar, as a standard humbucker, is as follows
The black and bare wire need to be connected to a common earth point, which is usually the back of one of the pots.
The red and white wires, which come pre soldered together, ar the link wires between coils 1 and 2. If you’re not doing any fancy wiring then just wrap some insulation around the wire joint, to avoid accidental shorts within the guitar, and forget about them.
The green wire, which is the overall hot out / signal / positive ( call it what you will ) connect to either the pickup selector switch or the input lig on your volume pot, depends on how your existing wiring layout is.
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 🙂
Mount rings not included.

I fitted a pair of these into a Steinberger Spirit headless guitar. I’ve always liked the feel of the guitar and it is incredibly practical for travel but it has always sounded a bit dull, like the volume pot is on 8 or the tone is on 3.
The MirrorMan pickups are a huge improvement. They’ve brought the guitar to life. I also fitted a coil split button. As it’s an HSH setup I now have 9 different sounds (the middle position is the same whether the split button is in or out).
I was going to change the existing single coil but it’s a weird setup and a Texas Vintage wouldn’t fit. I have refitted the SC so that it’s now at the right height to balance with the MirrorMans (MirrorMen?). Great Strat-like tones plus LP-like bridge and neck HB. Even the mixed H&S tones are useful.
I have fitted more expensive pickups to some of my other guitars. These are almost as good for less than half the price. I already have three more Warman pickups to fit to other guitars, that’s how impressed I am.
