Description
Karman pickups are high quality pickups that come to the consumer at an affordable price, now you can upgrade your entry level standard guitar pickups with something that sounds great without breaking the bank.
Karman ’57 Pro Humbucker Guitar Pickups are a great take on the original 1957 PAF Humbucker Pickup. It has the longer mounting feet, vintage braided hookup wire, the base plate is nickel and the cover is nickel plated with chrome and then plated with nickel. The same type of copper wire and magnets used in the original 1957 PAF Humbucker. This is not an exact replica, just a great take using good quality components and craftmanship.

I am blown away with how good this set is, incredible PAF tones and not muddy at all in my ES 335 copy. Well beyond my expectations.
