Best upgrade I've made
Replaced the stock pickups in my import LP with these Lao Hao GB59s. The difference is night and day. Sustain is improved, and the harmonics ring out beautifully.

Incredible vintage tone for the price
I installed these in my custom build and was blown away. The clarity is excellent, and they handle high gain without getting muddy. Definitely rivals pickups costing three times as much.

Solid choice for modders
Good output and nice aesthetic. The nickel covers are well-finished. I deducted one star only because the lead wires were a bit short for my specific wiring harness, but easily extendable.

Exceeded expectations
I was skeptical about the 'New Vintage' claim, but these really do capture that classic late 50s humbucker character. Very dynamic response to picking intensity.

Great sound, slightly tight fit
The tone is warm and punchy, exactly what I wanted for blues rock. I had to do a little sanding on the pickup ring to get a perfect fit, but once installed, they look and sound amazing.

Professional quality
As a session musician, I need reliable gear. These pickups deliver consistent performance across different amps. The 498T style bridge pickup cuts through the mix perfectly.
Q: Is the magnet Alnico 2 or Alnico 5?
A: The Lao Hao GB59 R9 model specifically uses Alnico V magnets to provide a brighter top-end and tighter low-end compared to Alnico II models.
Q: Can I coil split these pickups?
A: Absolutely. These pickups utilize a 4-conductor wiring setup, which allows for coil splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase reversal options.
Q: What is the return policy if I don't like the tone?
A: We offer a 30-day return policy for unused items in original packaging. Please note that once soldered, pickups cannot be returned due to hygiene and safety regulations regarding electronics.
Q: Are these pickups compatible with a standard Les Paul copy?
A: Yes, these feature standard humbucker dimensions and will fit directly into any guitar routed for standard humbuckers, including Les Paul copies.
Q: Does this set come with mounting rings and screws?
A: This listing is for the pickups only. Mounting rings, screws, and springs are not included, but standard aftermarket parts will fit perfectly.
