"Scott from the Isle of Wight here. Last week I ordered a Smoke Stack II (neck) from you, out of curiosity more than anything. It arrived (the next day – awesome!) and I fitted it straight away. WHAT A PICKUP!!!!! I was floored by the sound of this thing. I had a slight out-of-phase issue but this was quickly rectified. I've only really used Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio and Bare Knuckles in the past but they've all gone out of the window now. I'll be recommending them to my customers here on the IOW from now on which hopefully means I'll be buying a lot more of them. Amazing pickup (packaging, wiring diagram all very impressive), amazing service, STUNNING price and just downright impressed. I'll be buying all my parts from you from now on. Cheers & Rock-on!" - Scott, Isle of Wight

 

"Just a quick email to say how nice the Smoke Stack 2 is. I've fitted it in place of the neck humbucker on my Yamaha RGX620 and it gives me just the sound I was after! With both coils on it easily keeps up with the overwound bridge humbucker (full & fat, but with more top end definition than any humbucker I've heard in that spot, more P90-ish, but not overly middly), push the tone pot coil tap and I'm straight back into Fender mode! Also, great service from Axetec, superfast delivery and kept up to date with the order progress. Thank you." - Matt, Kingswinford, West Midlands

 

"Hi, just received my IronGear Smoke Stack II Strat pickup, must say I'm very pleased with this, it does everything it says on the box. I would recommend it to anyone. Superb! Thanks." - Allan Moir, Fife

 

"After deciding I should upgrade some items in my rehearsal room I thought of replacing the pickups in a Vintage signature series Thomas Blug Strat with tappable single coil size humbuckers. I looked at the Seymour Duncan everything axe (preloaded scratch plate) but at £270 couldn't justify the expense. On the IronGear website I found a very helpful page describing all I would need to buy in order to build my own plate loaded with Smoke Stack IIs plus a wiring diagram that with minimal soldering capabilities was a breeze to build, the final cost was £100! I won't bother with any sonic descriptions because the website describes them very accurately, I'll just say it's been the best £100 I've invested in gear in a 35 year career. Many thanks IronGear." - Shaun Blandford, Scotland
