IronGear Pickups - About Us

IronGear introduced their first pickups in 2007. The phenomenal success of those first units, was swiftly followed by an, equally well received expansion of the Foundation series. Since then, the now familiar names of the Steam Hammer, Hot Slag, Rolling Mill, Pig Iron etc. have become trusted workhorses for thousands of guitarists.

IronGear set out to debunk the myth that it's necessary to spend large sums of money in order to achieve sensational tone. We've made great strides towards achieving this goal (please see our customer feedback!), but we're not done yet!
Summer 2009 saw the introduction of the first pickups of the Classics Series. These products are designed to be a no-compromise competitor to the most expensive pickups on the planet, and we'll be expanding the range further over the months ahead.

All R&D for IronGear Pickups is carried out here in the UK. We don't believe that pickup making is a "black art". We believe that great pickups are the product of careful design, a thorough understanding of the materials used, high quality production facilities, professional quality control, and thoughtful, courteous customer support.

Thousands of our customers agree. We hope you do too.
