Rio Grande Electric Guitar Pickups

Our most popular pickup to date, this “non stag” model offers enhanced replication of the good ol’ tonecasters. Not all Strats® have “that” sound. From over 30 years of vintage guitar collecting, dealing, and repairs, comes the knowledge of which have the tone and why. Lots of other pickup companies know how to make a hot pickup, not many know tone from Diddley!

Same as the Vintage Tallboy but RWRP (reverse wound/reverse polarity) for humcancelling purposes, typically when placed in the middle position on a Strat

The perfect combination..the best of both worlds! Vintage Tallboy meets Muy Grande!! We took one of each, put ‘em in a blender, then into the oven and out popped the halfbreed! More juice than a Tallboy but not quite as much power as the Muy Grande, the Halfbreed is the ideal mix of our two popular single coils.

A powerful replacement for the modern and "vintage" type pickup, the Muy Grande offers an overall beefier sound with plenty of front end drive... not mush... It's like getting #11 added to your volume knob!

Rio Grande is at it again! Like it's namesake, the Dirty Harry Jr emulates the tonal characteristics of a P-90 pickup. With a bit less output, it is recommended for the neck position in a 3 pickup set with the Dirty Harry model in the Bridge position, and the Dirty Harry Jr. RWRP in the middle.
