Shrapnel — LONDON SERIES — CustomShop Pickup (Neck)
NOTE: Custom Pickups are wound every 2 weeks. So please be aware of the lead in wait times
A high output neck humbucker with the sweet spot synergy between old-school and modern rock — from hot, fat blues rock to aggressive thrash.
Why you’ll love it
- High output without losing tonal control
- Voiced for old-school + modern rock in the same pickup
- Woody, bright cleans — then tightens up for focused, precise attack when driven
- Four conductor wiring standard for coil split capability
- Wax potted for squeal-free performance at any volume
The sound
The Shrapnel (Neck) is built for players who want a neck pickup that can do both worlds: classic rock response when you roll back the volume, and a full-bore reaction when you hit high gain. Clean, it has a woody, bright character; overdriven, it tightens up for a focused, precise attack.
The platform is also designed to be fine-tuned: while this model is spec’d with AlNiCo 5, there’s also a ceramic option to increase output and tighten/brighten the response while keeping the core voice.
