Great pickups are the engines of great electric guitars. Instead of choosing something off the shelf, BGC custom-spec’d the BGC M89 pickup line especially for the GX1. A limited-run, painstakingly developed electric guitar deserves an equally special set of pickups. When devising the GX1, Badlands Guitar Company was determined to go beyond simply installing a run-of-the-mill, off-the-shelf pickup set and calling it a day. The GX1 presented an opportunity to really dive into the range and power of the '80s hard rock sound, and the BGC M89 pickups are produced with a commitment to honor that sound.
