The Stagger Swagger is a pickup design, unique to itself that's long received a lot of love around the world from players and guitar makers looking for something real special.
Although technically a P90 based pickup, (don’t let the wide range humbucker visual similarity fool you, they aren’t WRH) the Stagger Swagger can't be filed under the same stereotypes and characteristics. What you'll find here is a pickup full of dynamics, detail and clarity of a true single coil pickup, but noise cancelling and in the handy humbucker replacement size. They're crisp and clear, but ballsy. Clarity and definition in abundance but they certainly don't lack in power when driven. These completely do away with your old 'Have your cake and eat it' dilemma. They're noise-cancelling too, handy huh?!
So many players have regarded these as the best pickups they've ever heard. That's a bold statement with the guitar world flooded with choices, but it's certainly something worth taking note of.
Based around A4 magnets & 42awg wire.
As standard the Stagger Swagger V2s are made with 1 15/16" string spacing (traditional Gibson specs for example), short leg mount and with 1c braided wire.
Recommended wiring
We recommend pairing the Stagger Swagger V2s with 500k pots and 0.022uF caps.
Installation
These pickups are traditional humbucker sizing, with short leg baseplates. They are 1c braided wired as standard. If by chance you aren't comfortable installing these pickups yourself, and are local to the Home of Tone, then I offer professional in-house installation. If you are installing them yourself, then I am of course here for any installation advise too.
Cover Options
This is a special edition collaboration between McNelly Pickups and Prisma Guitars, featuring recycled maple skateboard material on the pickup cover. Please note, due to the nature of the multiple dyed maple layers, a specific colour-way can't be guaranteed and the pickup cover will be a mixture of colours.

About McNelly
One of my first wishes about setting up my store was to concentrate on quality. McNelly couldn't fulfill that wish any better. I've worked with McNelly Pickups since 2015, and has been one of the most reliable, consistent, innovative and inspiring suppliers to work with and it's an honour to represent such a quality brand here in the UK.
Made by Tim McNelly and his team in Canada, every single pickup is created with the utmost passion for their craft. From the design process to refining tone detail, unique and timeless aesthetics to the finest build quality you'd hope to see.
Every detail is considered by Tim to ensure their pickups are the finest they possibly could be. From material and part selection, to care and workmanship during the winding and making process. The result is tone that speaks for itself.
What's included with the pickup?
Inside the box you'll find the pickup(s) you have ordered, along with your mounting screws/fixings.
Custom options?
If you love the look of this pickup model, but the standard options don't quite suit your requirements then we can certainly help with that.
