Righteous Sound Pickups Emerald Hills Humbucker Set – Gold Leaf Floral
These are brand new, never-installed, hand-wound Emerald Hills humbuckers from Righteous Sound Pickups, built by hand in Austin, Texas by people who obsess over tone instead of spec sheets. Not machine-wound, not mass-produced—these are individually hand-wound pickups with intention, feel, and a little bit of attitude.
This set sits perfectly in that sweet spot where vintage soul meets modern control. The bridge measures 8.9k, delivering enough output to push an amp hard while still keeping dynamics intact. The neck comes in at a smooth, articulate 6.7k—open, vocal, and clear without getting mushy. The balance between the two is spot-on, making this set ridiculously usable across styles.
Tonally, the Emerald Hills are designed to bridge the gap between classic PAF warmth and modern clarity. You get bloom, touch sensitivity, and harmonic richness, but with better note separation and definition than traditional vintage pickups. Clean tones stay lively and three-dimensional. Gain stays focused and musical. Chords ring. Single notes hang.
They’re also 4-conductor wired, so you’ve got full flexibility for coil-splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase options. Vintage vibe when you want it, modern versatility when you need it—no compromises.
And visually? The Gold Leaf Floral covers are straight-up art. Elegant, bold, and just dangerous enough to make your guitar look like it has a story to tell before you even plug it in. Subtle from across the room, jaw-dropping up close.
These are brand new and have never been installed, and there’s no wait on this set. Brand new Righteous Sound Pickups currently carry at least a 14-week waiting period, so this is an opportunity to grab a new set and skip the lead time entirely.
Brand new. Never installed. Hand-wound. 4-conductor. Made in the USA. No 14+ week wait.
If you want pickups that feel alive, sound honest, and give you both classic tone and modern flexibility, these handcrafted tone machines deliver in every way.
