Got a Death Adder for my Bridge position and, as per your recommendation when I emailed before, I got a Hognose installed in the neck position to compliment it.

These pickups really do bring me a lot closer to "That Sound in my Head" and allow me the best of both worlds... the Hognose is round and crystal clear clean and dirty, and wow, that Death Adder, its really got that full bodied crunch I was looking for, and seems to keep the clarity no matter mow much gain I pile on.

I have retro fitted Sidewynder Pickups several times now and have been very impressed with the build quality. There are a couple of really nice touches like removing the tape from the cover lugs and the wire ends being tinned. This certainly makes my life installing pickups a lot easier.

As to the sound quality, Sidewynder Pickups are among the best pickups I have ever heard. I highly recommend you give these guys a try!!

I have helped with the testing and development of Sidewynder Pickups from the beginning. I was happy to help because these are the best pickups I have heard, ever! I have heard them all in a variety of guitars and I am incredibly impressed with the quality and incredible sound these guys have developed. In my studios, I reckon I have heard every conceivable type of guitar and style of music, but I have never heard this kind of clarity before.

These are exceptional pickups. Proof of the pudding, yes, they are in my own guitar!

I've tried every conceivable combination of pickups, but always felt there was a lack of definition, especially in the high tones. I tested out the Bushmaster and the Lancehead and was seriously blown away. I always play with full gain, but find a huge loss of sharpness in the high end that I need.

With the Sidewynder Pickups, there was no loss whatsoever. They are sharp and clear, but offer that extra power that I need. I would and will recommend Sidewynder Pickups to anyone”

I was using stock pickups in my guitar and was reasonably happy with the sound I was getting. I decided to try a change and since Sidewynder Pickups are a Scottish company, I thought I’d give them a go. I had Jimmy Moon fit them and am so glad I did. My guitar now sounds like a much higher priced and better quality instrument.

We both have Bushmaster and Lancehead pickups and are delighted with them. These pickups offer a phenomenal range of crispness and depth. Couple that with the power they offer and you have the perfect pickup. They offer a versatility that neither of us has seen in a pickup before.
