Hammer Head

“We play a kind of filthy, down-tuned industrial death metal and a Hammer Head at the bridge is PERFECT. Insanely high output, killer low end that makes palm mutes hit like a ton of bricks, and the pinched harmonics practically pinch themselves. Through a Mesa Boogie this thing could take down walls.” — Dave Newell, Stockport (NekroDrako)

“Dropped them into my BC Rich Warlock to replace the stock pickups. 30 minutes later my Warlock sounds like a higher-end Warlock for a fraction of the price. The best thing is they can grunt like two pigs mating quite happily all day long, but they also sound amazing when used clean — no loss of tone like my mate's Seymour Duncan Invaders.” — Jody Goodrick, Weymouth

“These Hammer Head pickups have totally transformed the sound of two completely ordinary guitars. I've got my “sound” — something I've been striving to find for the last 30 years. When overdriven, I can only describe the bell-like harmonics and note-for-note clarity as “spine tingling”. From this day forward, I'm an IronGear man.” — Big Dave, Denbigh

“I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how amazed and happy I am with the bridge and neck Hammer Head pickups I recently purchased. Fitted both humbuckers to my Jackson Dinky — the difference in tone and power was a joy to behold! Never again will I go back to using Seymour Duncan pups.” — Paul, Chesterfield

“Retro’d my Strat with the Hammer Head at the bridge position — just what I needed. An excellent value-for-money power pickup to complete my monster project. Versatile full-on sound I was searching for through my FX.” — John, Worcestershire

“Fitted two Hammer Heads, neck and bridge, to one of our ROG85A guitars. Coil-tapped both. On full humbucking mode these are fantastic — clear sound on the clean channel, but on distortion these ROCK. Really overdrive a tube amp beyond normal.” — Ross, Red Planet Guitars

“Upgraded my BC Rich Bitch by installing a pair of VERY mean Hammer Heads. Awesome pickups at a great price, with fast delivery and superb customer service. Keep it up!” — Tom, Telford

“I play de-tuned grindcore and death metal. Fitted the Hammer Head to my Jackson — the results were far beyond what I was expecting. A very big sound with lots of power, really transformed my guitar. You will be at the top of my list when recommending pickups to anybody.” — Graham, Okehampton

“Fitted the Hammer Head bridge pickup into my Fat Strat — I'm blown away with it. The old pickup was dull and lifeless. I think it out-performs one of the Big Name pickups with a similar appearance and at less than half the price. I will definitely be using IronGear pickups in my next project.” — Paul

“I received the Hammer Head today, and am completely blown away. This is amazing in all departments — build quality, presentation, look, and more importantly the sound. I am stunned. You have brought new life to a 12-year-old guitar.” — Lee Gordon, Luton

“Linked up the humbucker with a DPDT switch so I could have it either series or parallel. The results are impressive — it really delivers a great output, mind-blowing clean tone. Overall, excellent value for money and definitely will be getting more for the next one.” — Gerson Velasquez, Penzance
