Critic Reviews

Lundgren Guitar Pickups unleashes the Black Heaven

guitar.com

Lundgren's Black Heaven humbuckers are a bold move for modern rock and metal enthusiasts, boasting a tight response and high output, but they come with a significant caveat. While the bridge pickup delivers a “meaty growl” and dynamic articulation, the review points out that these pickups are decidedly not for those seeking vintage tones. They may excel in heavy genres, but their lack of versatility could leave players in lighter styles feeling unfulfilled. Priced from EUR 159 to EUR 339, they’re an investment that caters specifically to a niche market, leaving some musicians to wonder if they’re worth the cost for those outside the heavier music scene.
