Every guitarist has their own unique set of influences - and whether you prefer the bright sound of a single-coil pickup, the brighter sound of a P90 or the warm, well-rounded tone of a humbucker, this selection of electric guitar guitar pickups has something to suit every playing style and budget. All the big brand names are here, including Seymour Duncan, EMG, Bill Lawrence and DiMarzio. Some of these pickups were even made in collaboration with famous guitarists like Zakk Wylde, Slash and David Gilmour.

With so many electric guitar guitar pickups to browse, you might want to consider starting with the top sellers. There are many here, including affordable favorites like the Seymour Duncan Vintage Noiseless Strat Neck/Middle Pickups and the DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion Pickup. EMG even offers a pre-wired pickguard/pickup set: the EMG-DG20 David Gilmour Pre-Wired Pickguard/Pickup Set is a deluxe white pearl pickguard that includes 3 ivory SA single-coil pickups wired with an EXG guitar expander, an SPC presence control and master volume. If you want a sound that's one step closer to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", then this pickguard/pickup set is for you.

Electric guitar pickups have also greatly benefitted from technological advancements. Although most commonly known pickups are passive, active pickups are powered by a separate battery that's stored on the guitar so you can have more control over your tone at higher volumes. For this reason, many metal guitarists favor active pickups because they allow you to maintain a tight and consistent sound without any loss in quality. Need some suggestions? Check out the Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB1 Humbucker Set; or, if you play a 7-string axe, turn your attention to the EMG-707 7-String Guitar Active Pickup.

We could be here all day talking about the many incredible electric guitar pickups in this section, but your best bet is to dive in and see them with your own eyes. If you're still not sure what pickup (or pickups) is right for you, it helps to research what your favorite guitarists use and go from there.
