Ballbreaker – Angus Young Inspired Humbuckers

Ballbreaker – Angus Young Inspired Humbuckers

The Ballbreaker was designed for players chasing the raw, explosive tone of Angus Young, with the pure energy of the 70s and the touch sensitivity of true vintage pickups.
Handcrafted in Brazil under Pinheiro Pickups Custom Shop standards, the Ballbreaker delivers fast attack, rich harmonics, and lively mids — the pure sound of a guitar plugged straight into the amp.

Available in two versions, it covers everything from classic, open rock tones to modern, tight high-gain response:
