Soloway Guitars - Pickup Configurations

After many years of experimenting with a wide variety of pickups and configurations, we have finally settled on four basic setups, all featuring pickups made by DiMarzio. While we continue to offer custom configurations and will provide pickups from other manufacturers on request, we feel that these setups and pickups provide versatility and utility while capturing the essence of our tonal vision.

2 x Mini- humbuckers*

With custom DiMarzio Firebird-style mini-humbuckers in both positions, this option provides a wonderful combination of warmth and clarity. (These pickups are also interchangeable with Soapbar P90's for added flexibility)

* This option is not available in the full hollow body

Mini & Full humbuckers

The mini-humbucker prevents the neck pickup from getting muddy while the PAF 36th Anniversary in the bridge provides added drive and warmth. This is the standard configuration for the full hollow body and is available on order in the semi-hollow and carve top bodies.

Single Coil

A unique take on a classic single coil configuration, the pickups are both hum canceling DiMarzios with an Area-T in the neck and a Strat sized Virtual Solo in the bridge. This brings together the best of several SC models with a bit of added beef, no spikiness and none of the hum.

2 x Full Humbuckers

The dual humbucker configuration features a pair of DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversaries. These are moderate output pickups with a great deal of tonal complexity. They're perfect for players looking for a more traditional, full bodied tone while maintaining harmonic detail.
