A sought after Soapbarversion of the M8.
M8C with cover. This is the pickup many have been waiting for. The size is a direct replacement for EMG 808. Remember to change pots to 500K when changing from active pickups to these passive Monsters. And you can save some money when you do not need to go to the store and buy new batteries. The pickup is used on recordings worlwide . This model have the same windings and magnets as the open M8. However the covered design will give this covered pickup lower output . Pots can be bought from us.

Lundgren M8C Set

I knew I have wanted these pickups for a long time. Particularly the uncovered set. However, I bought an ESP LTD SC608B that came with Fishman Fluence pickups. After watching a couple YouTube videos and asking Johan about the covered set I knew it was time to finally get a set.

Installation was as easy as any other pickups. I swapped the 25k pots for 500k, the stereo jack for a mono jack, and wired everything up.

The presence and clarity of these pickups is unmatched. They also go perfectly with the Fortin 33 into my 6505MH.

I can finally just enjoy the rig I’ve always wanted. These pickups are amazing. I think it is time to get the M6 set for my other guitar. I gotta point out, the pickups sound amazing clean. The neck pickup isn’t loose or woofy either.

Big thanks to Johan for answering my initial questions and being so helpful. It is reassuring to correspond with such a legendary guy as well.

Clarity, bite and definition.

I bought one to replace a bridge pickup and it sounds great. Johan was a pleasure to deal with and very communicative throughout the process with regards to my order.

I would say that these don't really offer screaming, over the top distortion, it's more a kind of brutal clarity which, at least in my opinion, is very useful on an 8 string instrument. However, I do have the covered version so perhaps this affects that somewhat. The clean tones from these pickups are also really full and well defined, which is often a problem with 8 string pickups (especially actives, which often sound muddy and over-gained/over-compressed on cleans).

The pickup was also easy to fit, so a trip to a luthier was not required. (I wasn't swapping from actives, so mileage may vary on your own installation).

Also, I swapped a slanted 8 string pickup with an M8 in an M9 cover and it fits the cavity perfectly. This was on a Harley Benton QEB8. So, anyone who's looking for a drop-in replacement on that guitar can trust in this setup (M8 in M9 cover).

I would like to buy another to complete that guitar, and will do as soon as funds permit it. It's good to support good companies and good people, especially when their products are as good as these.

Most Excellent

These were a perfect upgrade for my RG2228. Huge improvement from the stock EMG808s. Absolutely love the way they sound. Excellent customer service too! Simply the best and worth every cent.

incredible clarity - M8C

These pickups absolutely live up to the hype. Putting these into my strandberg 8 string gave me clarity like I have not gotten from any other 8 string pickup. They are not harsh in the high end, and have a full low end. These really produce fantastically tight high gain tones. One thing that I think people do not talk about enough is that the cleans out of these pickups are also great. Highly recommend these. Next time I buy 7 or 8 string pickups, it will be Lundgren.

Dear Michael,

Thank you very very much. It is really interesting that you comment the clean sounds.
A special thnak you for noted that outside the boxx thinking. Always good. Have a great day.

Johan and the wonder- boys

Perfect solution

These pickups are something I wasn't prepared for. Having very high output without sacrificing hight frequencies and transparency is remarkable. Comparing them to Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi you can hear how well M8C corespond with your guitar wood while active fishmans are not the best at. Most importantly m8c are amazingly versatile pickups so it does not matter if you djent or make ambient textures on your 8 string axe, you will be satisfied.
