Description

Unleash the power of your electric guitar with the Rockfield Mafia Pickups, where aggressive tones meet refined craftsmanship. Engineered for the discerning guitarist, these pickups are a harmonious blend of boldness and precision. The ceramic magnet design ensures an amplified magnetic field that offers a hotter, thicker tone, perfect for those who crave a full-bodied sound with an edge. Whether you're tearing through a solo or laying down a rich rhythm, the Mafia Pickups deliver increased low end, thick mids, and piercing highs, embodying the very essence of rock and roll.

The neck version is skillfully crafted to match the bridge's intensity, yet it introduces a slightly brighter tone with a smooth, warm vibe that complements its aggressive counterpart. This delicate balance of power and warmth means you’ll experience a punchy, bold tone across all positions, maintaining that signature in-your-face aggression without sacrificing clarity or sustain.

Key Features:

  • Ceramic magnet for increased power and magnetic field
  • Hotter, thicker tone with aggressive sound profile
  • Enhanced low end, thick mids, and cutting highs
  • Balanced sustain and clarity across bridge and neck positions
  • Neck pickup offers a slightly brighter tone, perfect for smooth, warm transitions
