Lundgren Guitar Pickups is a Swedish boutique pickup manufacturer based in Jönköping, founded by Johan Lundgren, who built his first pickups in 1990. The company hand-winds its pickups using a combination of modern engineering methods and vintage equipment, including a 1957 winding machine, with a focus on tight frequency response and consistency across production.
The brand is best known for its M-Series high-output humbuckers, developed in collaboration with Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah, which became widely associated with modern progressive metal — particularly the M6, M7, and M8 models for 6-, 7-, and 8-string guitars. Other notable offerings include the Heaven 57, a PAF-style vintage humbucker built with butyrate bobbins and plain enamel wire, and The Anomaly, a medium-output humbucker designed with Per Nilsson of Scar Symmetry.
Lundgren pickups have been chosen as OEM equipment by Ibanez for high-end 7- and 8-string models and by Schecter for several Banshee variants. The band Ghost used Heaven 57 and Smooth Operators pickups on their Grammy-winning album Meliora.
Lundgren has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Guitar Pickups. Their gear is featured by 10 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Pop. Notable users include Mike Stringer, Nameless Ghoul, and Fredrik Thordendal.
