If sounding ungodly amazing doesn’t excite you, changing your pickups ain’t gonna change your life much. But if you have crave doom inducing, stanky funky, monster meltdown-from-the-neverworld tone, it may be something to seriously consider.

Your guitar’s stock pickups may be decent all right. But check this out—they may not be the right pickups for you. And this is about you, after all. You don’t have to have a name like Slash, Dweezil or Blues to make guitar playing your life. Lots of guys with regular-sounding names like George and (your name here) are doing just fine, thank you (see above).

See, these guys know that pickups determine the individual voice of your instrument. With the right pickups, harmonics will leap off the neck. Sustain a note, go grab a bit, come back it’ll still be singing. You’ll sound better. You’ll play better. You’ll run faster. You’ll jump higher. You’ll gain instant popularity. You’ll get the babes. With the wrong pickup—well, you might as well just give up on life and become a drummer.
