Montances Mustang Pickups
Montances Mustang Pickups
Authentic Mustang Sound. Handcrafted for Clarity, Chime & Punch.
Bring your short-scale offset guitar to life with the Montances Mustang Pickups, hand-wound for that unmistakable vintage tone—bright and chimey in the neck, punchy and bold in the bridge. Built using Alnico V magnets, vintage-style fiber flatwork, and cloth pushback wire, these pickups are designed to deliver that mid-60s Mustang mojo with modern consistency.
Ideal for surf rock, indie, garage, and bluesy tones, this set gives you a clear, expressive response that’s equally at home with clean riffs or driven amps.
Designed and handcrafted in the Philippines.
