Panama

The perfect pickup

I have originally purchased a Bridge Panama Pickup and it was soo good i had to immediately order the Neck pickup as well. This is the best pickup for the price, no, for the insane 80s sound you could ever order. Congratulations Tonerider, you've knocked it out of the park

The sound yet to be tested, but!!!

I have to say one thing about the Panama set - the neck humbucker doesn't line up with the strings, it's as wide as the bridge. The Epiphone humbuckers I took out of the guitar have different screw and slug spacing for the neck and bridge humbucker, overall Epiphone SG Pro humbucker build quality looks a bit better. Also, the wire comes out from top part of the humbucker plate, not the bottom, so the wire has to in addition be run from the pickup cavity, making it shorter in the end. Not a problem specifically, but a discomfort and a minus from the perfection standpoint. As of the sound of the pickups, I'm sure they're great. Will give 'em a go when I have the time. But I don't know if the alignment thing is normal. It weirds me out a little looking at the guitar and I'm thinking something should be done regarding production of neck pickups.

Great pickup

Really pleased with this humbucker, great build quality and tone. Will defiantly buy more pickups from Tonerider.
