Since 1946 Carvin has been making pickups using plain enamel magnet wire and Alnico 5 magnets. This is the heart of the vintage tone that many players strive to attain. Carvin's current line of C22 and H22 humbucking pickups use the same great sounding materials that we used in the 1950s. Carvin Custom Shop pickups are made by utilizing modern state-of-the-art winding and assembly methods. Try a set of Carvin pickups on your instrument for 10 days and you'll agree that these are the finest sounding pickups made, or your money back.
