Ceramic Guitar Pickups

There's nothing quite like slapping a new pickup onto your axe and tearing into your favorite song. And who would've thought something as simple as swapping out a pickup could have such a huge impact on your sound? Ceramic guitar pickups produce a tone that's bright, lively and strong. Their sound stays clear even when heavily distorted, which is why ceramic guitar pickups are considered the top pick for rockers and heavy metal musicians alike. Not a rocker? No problem, there are ceramic guitar pickups here that jive with every style of music imaginable.

One of the first things you'll notice about this section is that it's loaded with pickups for both acoustic and electric guitars. So it doesn't matter if you're a country crooner who plays on an acoustic or a serious shredder who sticks to the electric, you're going to find the right ceramic pickup for you in this catalog.

So let's start by taking a look at ceramic guitar pickups for acoustic guitars. A best seller like the LR Baggs M80 Magnetic Soundhole Pickup is a fantastic choice if you're a guitarist who likes smooth, natural sounds. It's designed with a built-in 3D sensor that picks up the entire frequency range of your guitar's body and to capture more of its rich acoustic tone. Another top pick is the Seymour Duncan SA-1 Acoustic Pickup. Designed for use with bronze-wound strings, the SA-1 extremely feedback resistant and plugs straight into a variety of mixers, amp, and PAs.

Next up are ceramic pickups for electric guitars. This category has a ton of stellar options from all the big brands. Take for example, the DiMarzio Steve Vai Evolution Humbucker Set. It comes with not one, but three well-designed pickups: the Evolution Neck F-spaced (neck), the Evolution V2 Middle (middle), and the Evolution Bridge F-spaced (bridge). Keep in mind though, that Evolution pickups are not polite-sounding, and they're not for the inexperienced, but if you've got fast fingering skills and a hot amp - your sound will burn.

Acoustic or electric, whatever your poison, the perfect pickup is here for you. Search by style, brand or customer rating, that's totally up to you, but don't wait - jump right into this section of ceramic guitar pickups and see what's in store for both you and your guitar.
