Righteous Sound Pickups 1991 Gazing Pickups Relic Exclusive

This, like so many for our projects that we do, started as an idea and a conversation has turned into a reality. When our guy Tye from Shock the Fox called and said "you have all these exclusive pedals, why not do exclusive pickups?" it rang a huge bell. Then as if he was reading our minds, suggested Righteous Sound. The 1991 Gazing set is one of our all-time favorite pickup sets and it was the absolute perfect set to choose for our first exclusive pickup run.  After some conversation, we decided that 5 for sale, and 5 to use in builds was absolutely the move. These have ancient cypress inserts and they look almost as good as they sound. 

From Righteous Sound: 
The 1991 Gazing set redefines clarity. 

 This set is designed for pedal players who demand a wide palette of tones with maximum clarity. Whether you play with a modeler or an amp these pickups will enhance your sound and inspire you to create...Meeting the needs of the modern guitar player. 

 The neck pickup is modeled after a vintage Jazzmaster pickup. The thinner coil produces a distinct sound. The high frequencies are prominent and clear.  The lows add warmth to round out the overall tone.

 The bridge pickup is a unique design that is a culmination of years of experimenting and refining. Asymmetrical coils wound with unconventional wire gauges and a custom spec'd Alnico magnet result in a humbucker that is unlike anything available on the market today. It is creamy, crystalline, and harmonically rich. The highs are reminiscent of a single coil. The midrange sits between a PAF and Tele bridge. The low frequencies are tight and similar to a Filtertron and Goldfoil. 

 Some of the magic lies in the middle position. When blending the two, it opens a new world of tonal possibilities, unlocking the full potential of your pedals.

 The 1991 Gazing set is unrivaled and the new standard for the modern player, excelling in articulation and response. It is a perfect match for clean ambient tones while remaining clear under heavy fuzz. They will have you gazing at your shoes for hours.
