mth but still kept that telecaster character and brightness when I need it. Turned my squire into sounding like a custom shop. Will definitely be upgrading all my pick ups to Revel!

!! It was a great experience dealing with the problem. He answered all my questions and got back to me right away. The turn around was fast. Jesse is my pickups go to from now on.

s Hagstrom II bass. Somehow the casing got broken open and I lost some of the pieces. It was feeding back and just generally sounded awful, which bummed me out because I use that pickup far more than the neck. I was also stressed out because the only time I’ve even seen pickups for this cool vintage bass was on Reverb for like $300. Then I remembered Revel offered repairs! Jesse put a ton of work and care into finding a solution that both looked good and sounds just like it did before. And at a completely reasonable price, too!

adjustments. Absolutely the perfect tele pickup for me. Jesse was amazing to work with and takes a genuine interest in his customers satisfaction-a refreshing quality this day and age. I will be using Revel pickups in all future projects/builds. I highly recommend this pickup and company.

a tone I liked from the stock pickups or the PAF clones I had tried. So, I came to Revel and ordered a set of V-90s. At the time, Jesse was just finishing up his noiseless P-90 offerings and asked me if I was interested in a noiseless set. Thankfully, I said yes. These pickups far exceeded any expectations I had, which were already high, as I have ordered from Revel before with great success. Not only do these “sound like” P-90s, they are P-90s in every sense but format. In fact, they are as sweet as any P-90 pickups I’ve heard or played. It’s easy to fall into routine and subjective superlatives when describing pickup sound and tone, so I will simply state that these are fantastic pickups. Just Incredible. They have completely transformed a humble but beloved Epiphone into an instrument that sounds as good, or better, as any in my arsenal. The full range of P-90 tone is there: all the bottom end you could want with solid mids and highs as clear as bells. Noiseless P-90’s in a humbucker form? Yes! They are here! And, as many have stated in other reviews, Jesse is great to work with. He really cares about his customers. He is two-parts Master craftsman and one part sorcerer, who also answers emails. If you are looking to upgrade a humbucker-laden diamond in the rough, or just want to add some P-90 tone without the hum, then you owe it to yourself to contact Jesse about these pickups.

definition of each note. I don’t claim to be as proficient as I’m sure the other reviewers are, but I know what sounds good. Un-split, the Broadbands are warm and growly, never muddy. When split, it’s sparkly, bell-like heaven. Getcha some!

atile pickups, from even and clear cleans to warm jazz tones to light overdrive for blues to all-out fuzz assault. And these pickups never get muddy on the low end or too chimey on the top end. You've never heard tones like you'll hear from these. A MUST have for any guitarist!

But then, like magic, when you coil split to single coil, it's seriously like you swapped pickups for your favorite singles...all the purity, clarity, and chime is there in spades. These are seriously GREAT pickups...get some today and your guitar will go from one-trick-pony to the ultimate bring-one-guitar-to-any-gig axe!

se doing just that. All we can say here at Nightjar Guitars is WOW...he's done it! These Humdingers are truly all the P90 goodness you want but with NO hum. These pickups retain the P90 flavor and output levels you know and love. Added in is just a slight bit more air, clarity, and chime in the sound, which we think is a good thing, particularly when paired with heavy or dense wood bodied guitars. These pickups remain balanced along all six strings for great clarity in the cleans. And they respond very well when you throw on that distortion or fuzz that goes great with P90s...even with all that dirt you'll still hear every single note, low to high, all with that badass P90 grit and growl. We can't wait to use these in our future P90 builds. Get some for yourself and hear these in all their (no hum) glory.

e pickups was that they were so much different and so much better than the stock pickups in my J-Bass that I must be fooling myself. You know how that goes with new gear! But 8 weeks later they are still the best pickups I have ever played in any bass. That's as simple and as direct a review as I can make. These are just really good Jazz Bass pickups without any hum. Thanks so much for taking the time to discuss what I wanted and what I needed and for building me these pickups.

ridge pickup I have ever heard, I'm not exaggerating, and the neck is just what I was looking for. I ended up using a 1meg volume pot for the neck. I knew I was going to want as much range and clarity I could get from it for my application. For the bridge I ran a 500k volume but ended up putting a 240 meg resistor in series with it on a switch to open it up a bit more if desired. I used 500k tone pots for both with a .47 on bridge and .22 on neck. Not the best pictures, I still need to decide on my headstock graphic. Neck was made by Attila, really nice work. Anyway thank you and I will be using you for any pickup projects I have!

Gibson Ripper neck pickup in my 81’ Gibson V-Bass, I ran across Revel pickups on the web. Reached out to J and instantly we hit it off in our like minded desire bring the Ripper back to life. I was able to free the Ripper windings from the epoxy shell. And Revel was able to rewind, and re-secure the original magnets and bobbins back into a NOS cover whilst wax potting everything. Upon reinstallation - I was pleasantly surprised to not only find that the pickup carried the original sweet vintage tone - but now sounds even more warm and thick in the neck position than ever before. An absolutely stellar pickup shop to work with. More than great service, conversation and results. Highly recommended!!

honic nature of vintage pickups, but this one was barely playable. So I looked around and contacted Jesse at Revel. He had worked on one for another customer and suggested I send it for repair. When I sent the pickup I expected to pay extra due to the rare nature of the pickup, and the unique bothersome construction. The lead time was listed at 3 to 4 weeks. Jesse had the pickup potted and refurbished in 3 to 4 days. Amazing turnaround and the pricing was more than fair. Jesse’s great service didn’t stop there. There was a shipping issue after the package was picked up by UPS. The package sat for a week without an input scan, and I feared that this rare pickup was lost. However, After messaging Jesse about this, he went down to UPS personally and was able to help them find the package and get it on its way. I received the repaired pickup and all the feedback issues were cured. The pickup sounded even better than before and was now playable. If you are hesitant to send a pickup to Jesse at Revel for repair, I can wholeheartedly recommend his work. He was extremely professional, responsive, and above all he does quality work. His customer service is unparalleled and he is absolutely awesome.

the sound I was looking for. These Tele Mojo Steel Pole (I got the 43) have now defined what a perfect Telecaster is, at least for me. Much more defined low end, and a smoother top end (which is always what kept me distant from Telecasters) whilst still retaining that twang. I replaced the Noiseless pickups in my American Ultra Luxe Telecaster, and what I have is a truly responsive, expressive guitar with a well balanced sound. I love these pickups and my FOH engineer loves them as well. Guitar sits perfectly in mix everytime. I've received a lot of compliments from fellow musicians. Thanks Jesse !

sed the sound I was looking for. He was extremely helpful. As for the pickup sound. The guitar I put them in is an American Ultra Jazzmaster, which I loved except for the pickups, I felt they were too sterile. Let's just say this Is my favorite guitar now. This is exactly what I was looking for. Just perfect balance of top end and low end, while retaining THAT Jazzmaster sound. It almost feels like Single Coil meets Humbucker sound. Responds very well to playing. It's very sensitive. Thanks Jesse! I will soon place another order for other guitars.

reat communication throughout, and it actually came back quicker than I expected. Got the guitar back together, and it’s as sweet as hoped for! Thank You!

nals but it’s been some years, and I know it’s apples and oranges because of the smaller paf size, but wow. All the attack and clarity you want out of a Tele, but with a deeper (not at all muddy) bottom end and no trace of ice pick on the highs. Nice balanced mids without getting honky like a PAF or P-90, it really is the best of all worlds in my opinion. And of course Jesse was phenomenal as always, faster turn around than quoted and answered all my annoying questions with grace. This is my 2nd set of Revel’s, it won’t be my last.

kup, but I broke the bridge pickup. Jesse did an amazing job salvaging my pickup (which I spent a lot of money on and didn't want to have to throw out), and all for a very reasonable price. Now my Matsumoku Vantage sings and is my favorite guitar! I will be saving up to buy some of his Filter-tron humbuckers for when I rewire my Sheraton II. Just another shining example of how you can find a person for anything in Minneapolis if you know where to look 🙂
