Customer Comments about the IronGear Pig Iron:-

"I put in the Pig Irons this weekend to replace my Lace sensors and combined with my Hot Rails the tone I am now getting is spot on... In all fairness they have far exceeded my expectations and I really did not expect them to be as close to the likes of Texas Specials as they are. For that price they really cannot be beaten and I am absolutely over the moon." – Mark, Ilkeston

“I wanted to improve a cheap Squier Strat I bought to use with a "pub" band (I never owned a Strat and the material really needed one). So I bought a Pig Iron for the bridge as an experiment - at £18.90 it seemed worth the risk. It was the cheapest I could find, and the user feedback and sound clips convinced me. What a revelation!!! Beautiful clean tone, responsive, and almost no noise. So I just had to get the other 2 pickups - I couldn't stand the other Squier pickups - coarse-sounding and noisy. I can now do Marvin, Gilmour, Rea, Greeny, Clapton, Hendrix and the rest (with a little help from a Zoom GFX-4 pedal). This is now my favourite all-purpose guitar after 40 years of playing, and by far the cheapest!!! I recommend IronGear and Axetec to anyone wanting to get more out of any guitar - if in doubt about anything, email Keith who responded immediately with very helpful setup advice. Thanks!” - Mick, South Wales

“Having been very impressed with my recent purchase of Rolling Mills installed in my Love Rock; I thought I’d give the Pig Irons a go in my Mex Std Strat. My other Strat has a SD hot rail in the bridge and a DM FS1 at the neck (I tend to play predominantly in positions 1 & 5 on this guitar) but I wanted this guitar to retain classic Strat aesthetic with but with improved tone. 24hr delivery again…fitted on Friday evening! They are a massive improvement on the stock pickups, they are more powerful but more importantly deliver that Strat tone, smooth, sweet but warm, clear almost bell like in every position. What I have found is that I’m using my pickup selector a lot more as they are so well balanced and the out of phase positions (2 & 4) are wonderful (so buy a set rather than single pickups). I’m especially impressed with the bridge pickup, which IMHO is the hardest to get right with a single coil unit and why I’ve previously gone for a single coil sized humbucker. It’s great, strong warm and smooth really delivers those pinch harmonics, they really sing! Just a little compression/sustain and it more than satisfies my critical ear.” - Stuart, West Yorkshire

“Thank you for the quick delivery of my order, I have fitted the Pickups (Neck & middle Pig Iron and an Alchemist 90) to an Old Sunn Mustang Strat copy (I have replaced the original Bridge Humbucker with the Alchemist) a bit of an unusual setup !! What a difference in sound !!! I did expect an improvement but the change is remarkable, all the classic Strat sounds are there plus that extra `something’ that P90’s seem to have. The Electric kit was first rate too !! I would no hesitation in recommending your pick ups. By the way the strings are pretty good too !!” – John, Hull
