RIO GRANDE PICKUPS

Rio Grande makes some very interesting pickups and despite their "Bad to the Bone" slogan they are way more than just hot pickups. Rio Grande makes a full range of pickups for Fender® and Gibson® style guitars from the vintage-inspired "Tallboy" series to the beefy "Muy Grande" line. But whether you choose mild or hot they are very musical pickups, and Rio Grande is one of the few winders that know how to make a hot pickup that does not sound like mud. They also make one of the few replacement pickups for the large G&L MFD pickup used in the ASAT Special guitars. Made in Texas, USA.
