Hot and smooth Humbucker that also sounds real good as a split single coil.
– black
– 13.6k ohms
– bridge position
NOTE: Black coils are standard. Choose optional coil colors and bezels at the bottom of the page. Includes mounting screws. If no bezels are ordered, the pickups will be prepped for direct-mount, with larger mounting holes. If bezels are ordered, they will have smaller mounting holes for the bezel adjustment screws. If you need pickups you can mount with your own bezels, call us at (858) GUITARS to order.
The C22 Series comes standard on many Carvin guitars. Alnico V magnets give a rich, smooth sound. With the close spacing of the pole pieces, you won’t get dropoff when bending strings. The C22 pickups have one coil with fixed pole pieces and one coil with adjustable pole pieces like the original Gibson PAF pickups. Notes and chords will flow out of your guitar with incredible smoothness. Bridge position.

“I bought a set of these pickups for my PRS, I liked them so much that I loaded my backup PRS with the same pickups. Very well balanced and warm.”
Mike Baker Front Royal, VA
“Absolutely the best bridge pickup I’ve ever used! Bright, articulate, with plenty of output and bite, yet not shrill or brittle. Beautiful clean, creamy and thick when distorted. Love it!”
TJ USA
“I bought this thing 2 yrs ago and it rocks! If you have a Strat and need more hot tones for distortion and need a dual rail get this! This pickup is more quiet for hum and noise than my duncan JB! Im going to swap out that JB for Carvin’s C22B. You cannot beat Carvin for price and quality in pickups period!”
Fred Engel Milwaukee, WI
“Great pick up. Replaced the Seymour SH4, which was too trebly & brittle. I rewired my Parker Nitefly w/ Flying V DIY set up. I had experienced this pup w/Carvin SC90. It has great tone clean and with distorion has great definition and sound. I don’t know how Carvin does it but for the price this is a bargain for this pick up.”

“I bought the SX300 amplifer . Iam very happy with this amp. Tone is great, very loud & the effects are great. I don’t have alot of money ,so I try to get the most I can for the dollar. I bought an inexspensive Ibanez Artcore AS73. Was not happy with the sound of pickups. Replaced them with C22B-3 & C22J-3 humbuckers. I swear this guitar sounds like it cost 2 grand.Very happy with my purchases & will tell my friends . Thanks Carvin & staff.”
