New line of Strat, Tele, & Bass pickups delivers classic tone with modern performance
(Nashville, Tennessee — March 26, 2026) — Mighty Mite, a trusted name in guitar and bass replacement parts for more than 50 years, has launched its new 4000 Series Pickups, a versatile lineup designed to deliver iconic tone, enhanced balance, and real-world performance for today’s players. The series is now available online at mightymite.com and in-store at 8th Avenue Guitar Works, Nashville’s new retail and creative hub for guitarists.
8th Avenue Guitar Works offers players a hands-on environment to explore, test, and customize their sound with Mighty Mite replacement parts. As the first physical storefront from the company, led by CEO Jason Gano and CFO Natalie Kyriakoudis, the shop represents a new chapter for MIRC (Musical Instrument Reclamation Company), bridging its global parts business with a physical destination for players.
The Mighty Mite 4000 Series introduces thoughtfully engineered pickup sets for Strat®, Tele®, Jazz Bass®, and Precision Bass® configurations, each crafted with Alnico magnets, vintage-style output, and modern calibration to ensure consistency, clarity, and musical responsiveness across all playing styles.
“This new line of pickups was designed to offer players a way to upgrade the tone of their entry- to mid-level instrument without breaking the bank,” says Gano.
Strat Pickups:
Available in 60’s and 70’s voicings, the Strat sets offer two distinct tonal profiles. The 70’s set delivers glassy highs and vintage shimmer, while the 60’s set adds output, tighter lows, and added bite. Both are calibrated for balanced in-between tones and smooth position transitions.
MSRP: $99.99 (set)
Tele Pickups:
The Tele set brings the classic formula, but tuned for real-world players. The bridge has bite and presence without ice-pick sting, while the neck stays warm and articulate without turning muddy.
MSRP: $99.99 (set)
Jazz Bass Pickups:
These Jazz Bass pickups deliver tight low end, articulate mids, and the kind of note separation that makes every line pop. Solo them or blend them together. Either way, the response is consistent and mix-ready.
MSRP: $99.99 (set)
Precision Bass Pickup:
Big, round, and authoritative. Exactly what a P-style pickup should be. This split-coil design delivers focused mids, controlled low end, and that classic growl that anchors a band.
MSRP: $69.99
This launch marks the first in a series of upcoming product releases from Mighty Mite, with new lines of necks and bodies to be announced in the coming months. For more information, visit https://mightymite.com/pages/mighty-mite-4000-series-pickups.
