Strat and Tele Pickups In 3 Basic Flavors
'54 SPECIAL • Smooth, clear vintage tone that is not harsh or brittle.
• These pickups feature specially ground and processed alnico magnets, which are a slightly larger diameter, as found on the earliest original pickups. They are designed to provide a vintage appearance on the guitar, but feature the same sophisticated construction methods as the standard Vintage Plus pickups for richer tone and slightly higher output.

VINTAGE PLUS • Rich, warm tone with high output and low noise.
• High output versions of standard pickups, without the ”muddy” tone that usually results from other brands of hot pickups. They feature the full dynamic range and clear tone of vintage style pickups, but with extended bass, midrange response and smooth balanced sound.

SUPER 90 BRIDGE PICKUPS • High output single coil sound with a full, balanced treble response
• Specially designed bridge pickups for Strat or Tele with the warm, clear tone and high output of a Gibson P-90. The feature original-type screw pole pieces and fit without any modification to the guitar. Super 90's are a more practical alternative to modifying a guitar to fit humbucking pickups and provide a better match for single coil neck pickups.

Gibson Type Pickups In Two More Basic Flavors


Z-90 • Super output single coil fits standard humbucker mounting rings.
• The original single-coil replacement for full sized humbuckers. Huge, dynamic sound and ultra-wide tonal response.

CLASSIC HUMBUCKERS • Classic style humbuckers with Vintage Plus™ sound
• A full line of new pickups with classic vintage-style appearance, but with improved Vintage Plus construction, fine tuned for greater tonal range and more expressive response.
New Stuff Going On Around Here

Fancy European Guitar Cords that cost $80!?

High dollar cables do sound a bit better than ordinary cables. Most of them sound a little brighter and cleaner, about like brand new guitar strings.
But these Klotz cables aren't just a little brighter, they also have more bass and dynamics and will deliver more music. It's not just more brilliance, but a full-range tone that gets more of the natural sound of your guitar to your amp. We wouldn't bother to sell these cables if they didn't actually work better than rest. Check out the reviews from the major-dude magazines mentioned in the Klotz ad. Even in their longest length, these Klotz cables sound bigger and cleaner and more 'live' than other cables. They don't really change the sound of the guitar as much as they just get MORE of the pickup's natural sound to the amp.

Good guitar cords cost as much as a new pickup (and can't really make as much of a difference). But once you've got a good sound to start with, these Klotz cords will give you even more of it. And, you only need one cord-for any amp, any guitar. We are one of just a handful of U.S. dealers and we have them in stock and ready to ship.

The Infamous Banned Ad has been turned into a poster
Our snappy Hula Girl Poster was a big hit at the Harmonic Design NAMM Show booth. But after Vintage Guitar Magazine refused to run our Hula Girl ad, we decided to do the right thing to protect the general public - by running off a bunch more posters. Now everybody can have their very own extra slick 18x24 poster, printed on heavy stock. We'd be happy to send you one for a mere $10 with your pickup order or $13 boxed up and shipped by itself.

We are now stocking all the correct controls, switches, pickguards, etc. They're listed below the order form.
Brand spanking new SUPER CHROME neck pickup for Teles.
High-output and fat, juicy tone with plenty of spank.
Perfect match for the Super-90 bridge pickup, in chrome or gold.

Chromotone Tele neck pickup
A chrome Tele neck pickup that sounds great? They said it couldn't be done. Even WE said it.
But here it is, the CHROMOTONE!
Vintage Plus VP-90’s
Okay, okay! You guys keep bugging us to get Scott to work his magic on P-90's, so here ya go. It's the VP-90. Fits in soap bar covers and has all the HD benefits you’ve come to expect. Also they sound really good!
Mini-Strat Neck Pickup for Teles Just another thing somebody should have invented a long time ago. It's as close as we could get to stuffing a Strat pickup into that little hole without routing anything or cheesing up the pickguard. We got pretty damn close.
We figured out a way to get this snappy aged nickle finish for the Classic Humbuckers. Same price as non-aged.
Hey! Isn't that my man Otis Rush using Harmonic Design Classic Humbuckers?
Why yes, I believe it is. How cool is that? And here's a couple more blues guys using our stuff.

• John Scofield
• Magic Slim
• Robert Junior Lockwood
• Coco Montoya
• Buddy Whittington
Redd Volkaert, who plays his fanny off with Merle Haggard has been using Z-90's on his custom guitar for a while. Now he's also using the Mini-Strat neck pickup and a '54 Special bridge pickup on his workingman's Tele. And he said some real nice things about 'em too.

We're always happy to have some more good press.
  • In his 'Choosing a Pickup' article in Vintage Guitar magazine, Tony Nobles top rates the Harmonic Design Super 90 "Almost ideal, my favorite."
  • ToneQuest Magazine's cover story about Z-90's says, "The tone of these pickups is not to be believed."

  • Guitar Player magazine says,"The punchiest and most robust sounds were delivered by Harmonic Design Z-90 pickups."
