Your tone deserves to look as good as it sounds.

At Vitus Pickups, we believe pickups shouldn't be an afterthought hidden beneath your strings. They should be a centerpiece that reflects your guitar's personality and your artistic vision. Most manufacturers treat pickup aesthetics as standardized and disposable. We built our reputation on the opposite philosophy: every pickup is an opportunity for custom craftsmanship.

Our pickups deliver the boutique-quality tone you need to take your instrument to the next level, wound to engineered specifications for clarity, dynamics, and character.

But here's what sets us apart: we let you choose exactly how they look.

Pickups as Design Elements

Think of your pickup covers as jewelry for your guitar. We offer an extensive palette of exotic woods, from figured maple and mahogany to koa or pearl, along with premium materials that transform standard pickups into conversation pieces. Match your guitar's existing aesthetic, create striking contrast, or build something entirely unique.

Customize every detail:

• Pickup covers in exotic woods and premium materials that complement your guitar's body and fretboard

• Pole piece finishes in different colors and materials to create visual accents or seamless integration

• Screw finishes that coordinate with your hardware

• Bobbin options (we recommend our signature black for tonal focus, with other options available)

The best part? These aesthetic choices are completely independent of your tone. Choose the sound profile you need, then dress it exactly how you want.
