Swineshead Pickups

Posted by Jon in • Guitar Accessories

Swineshead Warthog
UK based Swineshead Pickups have some very interesting pickup designs, for instance the Swineshead Warthog which is a high output humbucker with a powerful thick tone has a Paduak wood finish.

The other wood finishes available are Maple, Rosewood, Ebony, Mahogany, Zebrano and Lacewood. And that is just the wood finishes! Check out some of the other special finishes available such as Diamond Tread, Red Sparkle or their colour combinations. Oh and the customisation options don’t stop there, you can also have custom engraving on your pickups!

But how do they sound? Well I don’t know there aren’t any sound samples, but the humbuckers all use Alnico magnets as shown on this tone chart.

Clicking on ads has been proven to make you a better guitar player, just wanted to put that out there...

I ordered a set of Swineshead pickups year or two ago ( was going to put them in my Ibanez RGA ) but wasn’t very impressed with the quality of metal used for the baseplate of the pickup :(.

Hi Mark, thats not good, I wonder if they have improved since? Maybe I should get someone from Swineshead to comment.
