RIO GRANDE PICKUPS MAT MITCHELL EL COYOTE PICKUP SET
Rio Grande Pickups has launched an artist signature series, the Mat Mitchell El Coyote Pickup Set. Developed in collaboration with Puscifer guitarist and producer Mat Mitchell, the new El Coyote set balances powerful growl with clear articulation — allowing guitarists to stand out from the pack. To get the El Coyote bridge pickup’s full potential, pair it with the Rio Grande Pickups Tone Twister, a four-way switching system to unlock four unique tones from just one humbucker. {riograndepickups.com}
