Ceramic Guitar Pickups

Looking for an inexpensive yet effective way to experiment with your guitar's sound? Swap out its pickups. When you change the pickups on your axe, not only are you giving it a visual facelift, you're opening the door to a whole new world of potential sound. Ceramic guitar pickups offer a sound that's bright and glassy, with more cut and higher-output than pickups made from other magnetic materials. Sharp, articulate and tone-heavy, ceramic guitar pickups are often the go-to pickup for hard rock, metal and heavy blues musicians who need that extra bit of bite to back their music.

Whether you're here to upgrade from the standard-issue pickup that came on your guitar or you're after a specific pickup for your custom axe, there are lots of ceramic guitar pickups to choose from. Not sure where to begin? A great way to narrow down your choices is to search by instrument type. If you play the acoustic guitar, pickups for electric guitars may not interest you and vice versa, so go ahead and select electric guitar pickups or acoustic guitar pickups from the category dropdown on the left. Once you're in the right spot for your specific guitar, there are many different ways to search - by brand, pickup type, amount of strings and active/passive are just a few of the available search options. With just a couple mouse clicks, you'll be one step closer to finding the perfect pickup for your sound needs.

Pickups are a great way to change your sound without having to fund a whole new instrument. From casual shredders and weekend rock stars to touring professionals and accomplished guitarists, any musician can reap the sweet sonic benefits of outfitting their electric or acoustic with new ceramic guitar pickups and there are tons of fantastic choices right here on these product pages.
