Nunchucker — CustomShop Pickup (Bridge)
NOTE: Custom Pickups are wound every 2 weeks. So please be aware of the lead in wait times
A moderate-output bridge humbucker that keeps clarity while still driving your amp — one of our most popular choices for rock → hard rock → metal.
Why you’ll love it
- Balanced output — clear enough for definition, hot enough to push gain
- Dynamic response that reacts to pick attack and volume knob changes
- Great for amp-driven tones (less “compressed pickup”, more “your rig”)
- Bite + cut thanks to adjustable pole pieces
- Handwound CustomShop character and feel
The sound
The Nunchucker is built for players who want a bridge pickup that stays tight and clear without losing the ability to hit an amp hard. It sits in that sweet spot: enough output to bring the aggression, but not so much that you lose note separation or feel.
If you like your gain to come from the amp and your right hand, you’ll love how the Nunchucker stays articulate and punchy while still giving you the push you need.
