Ibanez 2010s VK1 and VK2 Humbucker Pickup Set Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

We have here an Ibanez VK1 and VK2 humbucker pickup set pulled from a VK-series guitar. These are high-output passive humbuckers, and the resistance readings tell the story: the neck (VK1) measures 12.47k and the bridge (VK2) measures 18.36k. That bridge reading puts it firmly in hot-rod territory — the kind of output that pushes amp input stages hard and favors higher-gain applications. The neck pickup, at 12.47k, is itself on the hotter side of vintage-voiced, meaning this is not a clean-tone-first set. Expect strong mid-forward character with compressed dynamics at the bridge. Both pickups test consist

These pickups reflect the design priorities of that era and lineup: maximizing output for high-gain playing without the premium price of the company's higher-tier options. Sets like this occasionally surface as replacements or spares when players upgrade their instruments, and they hold practical value for anyone working on a project guitar or a direct factory replacement application. The VK1/VK2 designation refers to the neck and bridge positions respectively.

We do not have a condition designation on file for this set. Both pickups have been tested and read correctly on a meter. Beyond the resistance readings, we have no additional condition notes. Buyers should review all available photos closely. No covers, bobbins, or mounting hardware condition is specifically documented beyond what is visible in the listing images.
