Always the first call for classic British blues rock tone. Sweet, rich, full-bodied sound with power aplenty



Renowned the world over as the player's player with a career spanning Back Street Crawler, Bad Company, Paul Rodgers, Procol Harum and The Who, any pickup bearing the Geoff Whitehorn name is going to be a formidable piece of kit.

Voiced by Geoff to be equally at home in a Strat or Les Paul type body, the Crawler is packed full of vintage tone and power reflecting years of studio and stage experience at the cutting edge of blues rock. Scatterwound with original 43 gauge plain enamel wire and using an unpolished, vintage cut Alnico V magnet, the sound is balanced and warm when clean; open up the volume and the Crawler will push the amp into punchy, fat overdrive for chunky chord work and singing lead tones.

For awe inspiring sound and performance-the Geoff Whitehorn signature speaks volumes!

The name says it all……….attitude!



Enjoying world wide acclaim as both performer and composer with Billy Idol, Steve Stevens is always in demand for his jaw dropping guitar work and ability to craft truly great pieces of music. Steve is equally respected as a solo artist winning a Grammy for the Top Gun theme and alongside his own releases has played for artists as varied as Vince Neil, Robert Palmer, Michael Jackson and Juno Reactor. It’ll come as no surprise then that a pickup bearing the Steve Stevens signature will be synonymous with tone AND style.

Scatterwound with vintage plain enamel wire and powered by an unpolished Alnico V magnet, the Rebel Yell humbucker has great midrange presence and power whilst retaining the ability to clean up as the volume is rolled back. A true ‘classic’ rock tone with the versatility of progressive modern performance, reproducing the trademark Steve Stevens tone has been no mean feat. As Steve says:

‘The Rebel Yell just growls with an even harmonic richness that I never hear in other pickups. It’s so full of clear bottom and perfect pick attack. These pickups are in a whole other league-they’re the real deal!’

For style, substance and tone the Steve Stevens signature is the bottom line.

Available as bridge or neck models with optional custom ‘Ray gun’ laser etched covers and 4 conductor wiring for series, parallel or coils split options.

Seymour Duncan  'Slash'  Signature Set (APH-2S)

During the recording of Guns 'n' Roses 'Appetite for Destruction' album, Slash used a custom-made Les Paul (made by the late Chris Derrig) equipped with two Zebra Alnico Pro II humbuckers (APH-1s) - straight into a Marshall stack. The neck pickup was a standard Zebra pickup but the bridge was a reverse Zebra. Though he has dozens of amazing guitars, since 1986 Slash has used pretty much one very special Les Paul ® for all recording. The Alnico II Pro Slash was designed to give Slash's other Les Paul guitars-what he calls his "live guitars"-the exact tone of this legendary instrument.




Warm, moderate output humbucker. Recommended for jazz, blues, and classic rock.


Like the standard APH-1 Alnico II Pro, this pickup uses an Alnico 2 magnet. However, the Slash model is wound with just enough boosted output to push a stock Les Paul toward the sweet sustain and rude crunch that characterizes Slash's sound as heard on hundreds of tracks. In addition, it comes with some of the same appointments found on the Seymour Duncan pickups in Slash's '86 recording axe, including single-conductor cable, long-legged bottom plate, and wooden spacer. For the true fan, or the player who wants to capture Slash's recorded tone, this pickup is a critical part of the tone chain. This is same pickup found in the newest Gibson® Slash model Les Paul.


The Slash aficionado will use a pair of these pickups to capture that unmistakable tone. This pickup matches well with the SFX-11 Twin Tube Blue all-tube overdrive-distortion stompbox for singing leads and authoritative chording.


While designed for use in a Les Paul, this pickup works well in any well-balanced humbucker-equipped guitar. Also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.


Available in black, zebra, or reverse zebra. The infamous Slash recording guitar has a reverse zebra pickup in the bridge position and a zebra pickup in the neck position. This pickup is available individuallyor in the zebra/reverse zebra set.

Seymour Duncan  'Slash'  Set (APH-1) Seymour Duncan 'Slash' Set (APH-1)

During the recording of Guns 'n' Roses 'Appetite for Destruction' album, Slash used a custom-made Les Paul (made by the late Chris Derrig) equipped with two Zebra Alnico Pro II humbuckers (APH-1s) - straight into a Marshall stack. The neck pickup was a standard Zebra pickup but the bridge was a reverse Zebra. You can recreate that Slash sound with this set of two pickups.

Slash's guitar used Zebra pickups but many people prefer the look of black pickups and Gibson use black APH-1s in their Slash signature model Les Paul..

Please note: This is not the Slash Signature set.

DiMarzio Eric Johnson Set (DP211 and DP212) DiMarzio Eric Johnson Set (DP211 and DP212)

Although Eric Johnson is best known as a Strat player, he has always played humbucker-equipped guitars as well. After getting a new 1959 Les Paul re-issue, Eric asked DiMarzio if it could be made to sound like an old Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar, and they said, "No problem!" The pickups they designed are exact replacements for standard, full size humbuckers. They are bright with great presence without sounding thin. When Eric tried them, he said they were almost as clear-sounding as Strat pickups, and he was surprised at how well they sounded with heavy distortion, because no matter how overdriven the sound, it did not become muddy. Recommended for: All positions, solid, semi-solid and hollow-body electric guitars

If you look at the DC Resistance specs for these pickups, you will see they're very similar to PAF®-style models. However, their performance is very different in two important areas. They have less power and much more treble response than "vintage" humbuckers. In fact, treble response is comparable to that of typical single-coils, but since bass response is still very solid, the EJ Custom™ isn't thin-sounding. It's outstanding for chords and fingerpicking, and has exceptional definition for soloing, even with extreme amounts of distortion.

The standard colour is black. If you like the look of double cream coils - DiMarzio is the only manufacturer - however, it is a special order from the factory - as are Zebra coils - and delivery is 4-6 weeks. If you are replacing the bridge pickup on a Gibson style guitar equipped with a Tunomatic bridge (52.4mm string spread) order either the F spaced pickup (51mm pole spacing) or standard (48mm pole spacing ). For the neck position order the standard pickup. For Fender style guitars (54mm string spread) order the 'F' spacing pickup.
