These calibrated pickup sets feature an Aguilar AG 5M pickup for the bridge and an AG 5J-HC for the neck. The 5M humbucking pickups, wired in parallel, deliver the classic Stingray® tone with crisp treble, clear midrange, and powerful lows. Add the AG 5J-HC to enjoy a deep, resonant neck position tone without 60-cycle hum. These sets offer excellent string-to-string balance, consistent tone, and rich harmonics. They sound great whether passive or active. Pair them with an Aguilar OBP-1, 2, or 3 preamp for ultimate tonal flexibility. Specifications: 44 gauge polyester-nylon wire, Alnico V magnets, and single conductor heat-resistant Teflon-coated leads.
Using your Aguilar AG 5M/J-HC pickup set is easy. First, install the AG 5M pickup at the bridge position and the AG 5J-HC at the neck position according to the guitar's setup. You can use these pickups passively for a natural sound or pair them with an onboard preamp like Aguilar's OBP - 1, 2, or 3 for more tonal options. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickups clean by gently wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you notice any issues, check the connections of the single conductor heat - resistant Teflon - coated leads. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your pickup set!
