Black Heaven®

I was on the hunt for a new guitar and I recently bought a schecter solo 2 supreme that comes equipped with these pickups. I couldn’t be happier.

I was originally recommended a PRS guitar with SD pickups that were supposed to be good for metal, and I was so disappointed when I tried it. The output was surprisingly low and although they were extremely clear, the treble was so overpowering, they sounded terrible to me and no amp or pickup settings seemed to correct it. The sound felt like hollow cold CNC steel. Not my vibe at all, I want hot hammer forged iron!

By happenstance I came across the schecter with these lundgren pickups and I was in love. They have meaty, tight lows, powerful attack, and can still do the creamy clean trebles and mids, and the clarity is awesome. They definitely are top performing metal pickups, but I love that they are still versatile. Great sustain too. I just love how these sound. I even tried them with my little headphone practice amp and they even make that sound good. You don’t have to fuss with settings to get them to sound just right, it’s more like you can spend hours playing with the sound because they are really so wonderful at any setting. How do you choose only one setting when everything sounds good?

I’m definitely a lundgren fangirl now, thanks for making these gems!

All the sound samples I found really sounded like just what I wanted but I was still a bit nervous. I have bad experience with ceramics by other manufacturers. They just sound too hot and one dimensional. It turns out I didn't have to worry because there's clearly some black magic at work in Jönköping. The Black Heavens of course sound fantastically clear and punchy in high gain but what surprised me is how versatile and sophisticated they sound clean. This is not just a metal pickup but they can also be made to sound both sweet and warm enough for anything else. I'm impressed and my favorite guitar is now perfect.

This pickup is great! It combines the complex midrange of an AlNiCo 5 magnet with the tight bass response and the cutting top end of a ceramic magnet. It is not as tight as the M6 but the sound is more complex, meaty and growly compared to the flatter sounding M6. I prefer the attack and response of the BlackHeaven Ceramic over the AlNiCo 5 pickup I used before. Great job Johan! As always the customer support is outstanding!

The best pickups I have tried. I installed it on a Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1. Excellent equalization. Keep creating!

I just had a set of Black Heaven pickups installed on a Schecter Silver Mountain C-1 and I was blown away ... these pickups are incredible sounding and go perfectly with this guitar. I have owned several sets of other hand wound pickups in this price range and, in my opinion, the Lundgrens are vastly superior in tone, harmonics, touch sensitivity and, tying it all together, string separation even at massive gain levels. 7th and minor chords remain clear as a bell with gain maxed out through a MXR GT-OD pedal and then the amp's pre-amp. The only other pickups I still have which are comparable to these to are a set of Jim Wagners.
