⚡ 1974 VintSpec “Randy Rhoads” PAF Humbuckers
High Gain Meets Vintage Clarity—Built for the Spotlight.
Let’s get serious—
Are you still chasing tone on forums and Facebook groups…
…or are you the player who actually plugs in and delivers?
Randy didn’t just show up—he arrived.
Classical discipline. Metal edge. Lead tone that cut through history.
Most players try to get there with high-output pickups that smear and compress everything.
That’s not what Randy used in the 1970's.
He played a 1974 Les Paul Custom loaded with vintage 1974 Gibson humbuckers—open, dynamic, alive.
And that’s exactly what we cloned.
🔥 Designed to Rip—But Stay Articulate.
When we set out to recreate a 1974 Gibson set, there was only one guitarist on our mind: Randy Rhoads.
We’re lifelong fans, and it was a true honor to build a set that channels the clarity, power, and feel of his iconic tone.
Whether you’re running through a cranked Marshall or a high-headroom clean rig, these pickups hold their voice.
-
Cloned from a real 1974 Les Paul Custom set
-
Alnico magnets for punch, speed, and clarity
-
Tight low end + sharp upper mids = perfect lead voice
This set is built for the stage, not the couch.
💣 Vintage Tone Without the Vintage Headache.
Real mid-’70s Gibson pickups? Hard to find. Harder to trust.
Most are underwhelming—or overpriced.
We’ve cloned legends: Holmes, Arlo & David White.
And we only release a set if it meets or beats the real thing..
⏳ You’re Either a Performer or a Pretender.
If you’ve been waiting for a real-deal Randy Rhoads tone,
this is the set the pros ask us for.
And now it’s yours—if you’re ready to upgrade from average to elite.
💥 Stop blending in. Start cutting through.
