Anyone have experience with Peg City pickups?

My pickups shipped. I am going to put the Angry Widows in my SG and move the BBW set to my Les Paul lite.

Let me know how you like them, man.

I'm still wanting to try their hot single coil to match with my Distortion in the bridge.

My pickups showed up they look beautiful. I am in the studio all weekend so I will not have a chance to install them and check them out until next week but I can't wait.

I love smooth top covers, but hate that you can't get at the poles...

He makes both options and open coils. I opted for form over function, I am not one to play with my poles much. They are going in my black SG so I think you know where I am heading with this.

Excellent.

Well, they do look very neat and well made!

That's not what I heard.

I got them in and at first blush they sound and look cool. I need to get the height failed in and EQ my amp a bit more. But so far so good.

They look great in that SG. I don't know why covered pickups without screws aren't more popular...they are fantastic.

They look amazing. Very Tony Iommi vibe.

What are your initial impressions compared to the BBW's?

I have actually been calling the guitar Phony Iommi.

I do not think the BW is a good comparative seeing the BW is ceramic and the Angry Widow is an A8. At first blush I am digging it but I do have dial it in a bit more. This is my first interaction with an A8 and I am noticing it needs to be backed off from the strings a bit more. With the amp settings, I have right now, it is aggressive and a bit raw, in a good way. It is definitely voiced differently than anything else I have in the stable.

Interesting review!

How would you find they compare to the usual suspects? Meaning Duncan Distortion, JB, BW, etc., especially in terms of output.

[Securb]

Output: I would put them in the same range; tonally, they are an A8, so the mids are raw and gritty, which is not everyone's cup of tea. I did not have anything in my arsenal with those characteristics, so I am thrilled with them. When I was playing them I instantly thought of Kyuss.

Yeah, I don't think they'd be the pickups for me when you say Kyuss or the second to last paragraph where you mention "With an Angry Widow set, you’ll experience heightened output, increased low mids, and a smoother treble response. The bass presence is substantial."

They sound like they'd be darker/fatter sludgy pickups, then?
