How to Upgrade Your Guitar's Tone on a Budget

Upgrading your guitar's tone can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. At AweSome Musical Instruments, we offer a range of budget-friendly options that can give you a high-quality sound without breaking the bank.

Our Asymmetric Type A and B humbuckers are a great place to start. The Type B pickups are designed specifically for blues, surf, and country tones. They feature different coil specifications for the bridge and neck pickups, giving you a wide range of unique pickup tones when controlled by our T4 switch or T4+ switch. They have a warm and sweet sound, yet are also powerful and meaty, with the ability to clean up nicely with the volume pot.

Customer feedback on our Asymmetric Type B pickups has been overwhelmingly positive. One customer said, "Your Asymmetric Humbuckers are fantastic; in series or parallel or out of phase humbucking mode, warm and sweet, yet also powerful and meaty. They even clean up nicely with the volume pot, something not all humbuckers do. The different coils do sound different. I've also lowered the humbucker but raised the pole pieces extremely high to unbalance the coils further, to exaggerate the tone difference between the two coils when I split them."

The Asymmetric Type A humbuckers are hotter than the Type B and are designed for hot, metal, and jazz tones. They feature the same different coil specifications for the bridge and neck pickups, giving you a great aggressive edge for rock or metal, or a nice bite that you may need for jazz tones.

At AweSome Musical Instruments, we believe that everyone should have access to high-quality guitar tones, regardless of their budget. That's why we offer a range of budget-friendly options that deliver great sound at an affordable price.
