Lightly Aged Nickel Covers. The closest thing to the real deal are the 1960 Dutchburst pickups that we had made by OX4 and are a true replica in every sense of the word, so: - the same (in this case) bobbins and bobbin material - alnico 4 magnets - output around 8k, like the originals in the 1960 Dutchburst Les Paul - period conform covers and wire. The look of the covers may vary.

At Max Guitar, we don’t just sell gear—we build relationships with the best in the industry. We call this: 'Picking Perfect Partnerships!'. It is more about Love for the Craft than about making hard cash! That is why we are proud to represent OX4 Pickups, handcrafted by our friend and sometimes even customer Mark Stow (as he is an avid guitar aficionado).

Known for his uncompromising dedication to quality, Mark has spent years perfecting his hand-wound, made-to-order pickups, using only the finest vintage-correct materials. From bobbins and baseplates to covers and slugs, every component is meticulously crafted to capture the rich, dynamic tones of the golden era of electric guitars. With carefully calibrated resistance ranging from 7.1k to 8.9k, OX4 pickups deliver the warmth, clarity, and responsiveness that define truly exceptional tone. 

OX4 Pickups have earned a devoted following among some of the world’s most respected musicians, including Mark Knopfler, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher, Larry Carlton, Jason Isbell, and Marcus King. Their feedback speaks volumes—Jason Isbell praises their unmistakable vintage character, while Ryan Adams calls them punchy and elegant, even transforming his playing. We at Max Guitar know firsthand the passion and precision that Mark puts into every pickup, which is why we’re thrilled to bring OX4’s unparalleled craftsmanship to players who demand nothing but the best. Regardless of which guitar you have, installing OX4 will be an improvement on your current set! Discover the magic of OX4 Pickups—available now at Max Guitar.
