At Monty’s, we’ve got one goal, helping you create your own glorious noise.
After years of obsessive tinkering, tweaking and tone-chasing we’ve created a range of pickups with something that will suit every player.
So, whether you're chasing the vintage tones of yesteryear or blazing a trail into uncharted sonic territory, we've got your back.
Originals
Over the last quarter century, we have been fortunate enough to get our grubby mitts on hundreds, if not thousands of vintage guitars.
As I am sure you are aware, not all guitars of a certain vintage were created equally, some are good, some are bad, and there are definitely a few ugly ones out there!
This is where our Originals range comes in, we have captured the magic of the best examples we have seen and cloned them into perfect sonic representations of the purest vintage tones that are only available to the few.
These aren’t just replicas; they’re love letters to the golden era of guitar tone. If you are chasing that pure, vintage tone, the kind usually reserved for collectors, this is where your journey begins.
Retro Wind
Not being content with making perfect sonic recreations of the best vintage pickups, we wanted to take these classic tones further with our Retro Wind range.
These pickups are wound to provide the more discerning player with beautiful vintage tones but paired with modern flexibility. We have smoothed the idiosyncratic, rough edges of selected vintage pickups and added features that contemporary players expect.
If you love old school tone but don’t want to fight your gear to get it, the Retro Wind range is your new best friend.
Full Monty
The Full Monty range is what happens when classic tone hits the gym.
Built on the unmistakable DNA of classic pickups, these designs stay true to their roots while being pushed to their absolute limits. We’ve taken the heart of those beloved tones and given them a serious dose of modern muscle.
The Full Monty’s are the most versatile range of pickups we offer, capable of covering everything from pristine cleans to full-blown face shredding drive. Whether you are, at turns, chasing subtlety or shouting from the rooftops, the Full Monty pickups deliver classic vibe with a serious edge, perfect for players who love classic tones but aren’t afraid to turn things up a notch.
Leviathan
Like the legendary monster from the deep, our Leviathan series is vast, monstrous, and totally untamed. The Leviathans are the hottest pickups we have ever made, designed for those who aren’t worried about things like subtlety.
Capable of effortlessly pushing your amp into a glorious natural overdrive, these pickups sound absolutely massive and can handle even the most ridiculous levels of gain. Perfect for anyone who just wants to plug in and rock out with no limits.
Turncoat
These pickups have betrayed their roots and switched allegiances, flipping their sonic DNA to infiltrate enemy territory. Each pickup in this series is a master of disguise, giving you the sound of one type of pickup hidden in the body of another.
From our current lineup of Jazzmaster and Humbucker-sized P90s to a few sneaky new designs just around the corner, the Turncoat series is all about defection. It’s your ticket to a whole new sonic universe, where the rules are meant to be broken.
Signature
Monty’s Signature series is a collection of meticulously crafted pickups designed in collaboration with some of the most iconic names in the guitar world.
We've had the distinct honour of working with metal trailblazer Bill Steer, YouTube sensation ‘Danish’ Pete Honoré, tone guru Dan Steinhardt of That Pedal Show and GigRig fame, and session guitar legend Robbie McIntosh.
Tribute
Monty’s Tribute series is our heartfelt homage to the tones that defined generations.
Drawing inspiration from legendary guitars, wielded by iconic players, we've painstakingly recreated the character, feel, and sonic fingerprint of these classic pickups, so you can capture that magic in your own instrument. Whether it’s the sweet tone of Eric’s black Strat, the honk of the Greenie Les Paul, or the bark of Keef’s Tele, each pickup in the Tribute series is built to echo a piece of guitar history.
We’ve seen the original instruments, studied their quirks, and reverse-engineered their mojo to deliver pickups that don’t just sound right, they feel right. The Tribute series lets you channel your heroes not by imitation, but by plugging into the same raw ingredients that shaped their sound.
