'Modded By Modern' Guitar Pickup Upgrades - Sharpen Your Axe!

Have you got your eye on an exciting new guitar or bass, but keep thinking to yourself, 'it's pretty sweet, but... what if it could be even sweeter?' We get it. That's why we at Modern HQ put our heads together and came up with the 'Modded By Modern' Guitar Pickup Upgrades program.

Intrigued? We thought you might be. Here's the deal - Purchase any new guitar and a compatible set of pickups in the same transaction from Modern Musician, in-store or online, and we'll install them for you within two business days, FREE OF CHARGE!* As if that's not enough, we'll even install a free set of matching gauge D'Addario XL strings (or Fender Super 250's for Squier guitars) to replace the ones we removed to install the new pickups.

Got your own custom pairing in mind? We can do that! Simply shoot us an email with your pairing ideas so we can confirm compatibility, availability and suitability, and we'll make it happen for you! If you're keen but not sure where to start, check out our ever-evolving Recommended Pairings below to see some of the upgrade options our in-house tech team heartily endorse.

Modded By Modern - The Simple Way to Sharpen Your Axe.

* Terms & Conditions: Both the instrument and the replacement pickups retain their full product warranty after installation. Due to the custom nature of the Modded By Modern program, there are strictly no returns for change of mind on modified products. Offer applies to pickup sets only, not single pickup upgrades. Works will be completed in two business days or less from the time of purchase. Custom pairings are available, if you have your own preferred pairing, please reach out via email prior to purchase so we can verify compatibility, availability, and suitability. Failure to do so prior to purchase voids the aforementioned ‘two business day’ turnaround promise. Offer applies only to basic 'like-for-like' pickup replacements and does not cover any additional routing or work that may be required if purchased pickups are not confirmed with us prior to purchase. All upgrades include a complimentary set of matching gauge D’Addario XL strings (or Fender Super 250 strings for Squier guitars) installed on the guitar upon completion of the pickup installation. Customer will receive their original pickups and any discarded electronics packed safely in the box with their instrument.

EMG 81
One of the most popular EMG’s, the 81 is the one that started a revolution. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut, and fluid sustain.

Traditionally used in the bridge position of your guitar, this humbucking pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. When used in both neck and bridge positions the sound can only be described as blistering. Other recommended pairings include the classic 81/85 setup and the versatile 81/60 combo.

EMG 60
The 60 humbucker packs plenty of output with a balance of thick, boosted mids, big lows and singing highs. Featuring close aperture coils, similar to a mini-humbucker, this model produces rich harmonic overtones. Due to its ceramic magnets, the EMG 60 has a full treble response and loads of output great for distinct single-note solos. The 60 provides clarity and character to your guitar and works very well in the neck position.

Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.
