JADE GUITARS is proud to offer pickups from one of the United Kingdom's leading boutique pickup manufacturers - Wizard Pickups Ltd. We currently offer pickups for Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass instruments but we have access to the entire Wizard range which also includes humbuckers, P90's, boutique bass pickups and unique custom order units.
Each set of pickups is ordered direct from the factory. Every set Wizard makes for us is hand-crafted and wound to order and then shipped directly to us from the UK. The average time from ordering to delivery is approximately 2-3 weeks. If you want to upgrade your guitar or bass with superior high-end pickups but don't want to pay boutique prices, look no further!
And you don't have to be one of our repair customers in Virginia to enjoy the benefits of having supreme handmade pickups in your guitar - we'll order any pickup you want from the factory and ship it to you anywhere within the continental USA!
Colin B. of Michigan recently ordered a Wizard Epsilon P90 from us - here's what he had to say about his new pickup:
"I installed the pickup and it sounds as good as I hoped it would. I've had handmade P90's before and they were good but were missing something. These (Wizard's Epsilon P90) have a little less output which at first I was kind of hesitant to pull the trigger on. But after installing and playing through a loud Laney amp I am thoroughly impressed. I get the Tony Iommi vintage crunch I've always wanted but could never obtain. Lead lines sound nice, fat, and punchy. Chords sound clear and full both clean and overdriven. The packaging, the way the pickup was put together, the shipping, and the customer response was just awesome. I've blindly bought pickups before without having a chance to actually hear them, and this time was no exception. But the product and the process leaves me completely satisfied and I'm pretty sure I'll never buy from another pickup company again. Thanks a lot!"
But don't take our word for it - see what people are saying at Harmony Central:

'Ozone' Strat Set ***NEW***
A fabulous Strat pickup with Alnico 5 magnets, gentle stagger and traditional looks but that's where convention ends. These have loads of top, stacks of bottom but the mids have been scooped away, leaving a tone that emphasizes every note played. Wonderful when driven hard, these pickups have all the bite and edge you could want, just like setting an EQ with a "V". Wizard's take on the John Mayer tone. Each set is calibrated and the average dc for the set is around 6.5k ohms.
