BG pickups Pure90 vs Arcane PX100

[bkemp23]

Looking to replace the Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup in my Washburn N4 with something more interesting and I've narrowed it down to these two pickups. It would be paired with a Wilde L500XL in the bridge. Does anyone have any experience with these two pickups? Does either seem like a good match for the L500XL? Thanks.

Good luck getting your pickup from Arcane. I wanted 4 months and had to get paypal involved to get my money back.

Interesting. The PX100 is shown as in stock. Was yours shown in stock?

I haven't used either of those particular models but I will say I don't think you can go wrong with BG.

Here's the thread. 4 months for a pickup that was supposed to be shipped "this week". It never showed up and the guy never replied in emails or via Paypal.

Yikes, doesn't sound like it is worth the gamble on Arcane at this point. Thanks for the headsup.

Bryan (BG) has never done me wrong…i’ve gotten multiple Hellabuckers, a Darkbucker set, and a set of custom rail single coils from him. I never had any obscene wait times….in fact I don’t think it ever took more than a month or two.

Also helps that they sound incredible!
